Good Shoes Only

Good Shoes Only

Saturday lights at the roller rink
Fresh white leather, brand-new lace
You walk in smooth like you own the floor
Then trip before you reach my place
Everybody tries not to laugh
You laugh first and laugh the most
Then the DJ drops something nasty
And suddenly nobody gets close

Perfect never moved me
Confidence does

Good Shoes Only, bad moves welcome
Good Shoes Only, bring your real self
You missed the beat and somehow made it better
Good Shoes Only, we can learn together

Good Shoes Only
Good Shoes Only

You spin too wide, nearly hit the railing
Catch my sleeve and keep it cute
I show you one, you show me two
Then outdance everybody in the room
Now those white shoes got a black mark
You look down and call it proof
Best nights leave a little damage
Best people make mistakes look smooth

I came looking for somebody polished
You gave me funny, brave, and loose
You missed the beat and somehow made it better
Those fresh white sneakers gave it away

Good Shoes Only, scuffed by closing time
Good Shoes Only, your hand inside mine
You missed the beat and somehow made it better
Good Shoes Only, stay a little while

Good Shoes Only
