Salt Stains

No matter where I go
I’ll always know I’ll have these salt stains on my shoes
To remind me of the nights I walked
Down the streets that line your neighborhood, covered in snow
But I got frost bite and I don’t blame the cold
I blame you for not answering your door
But I’ll run to you like I always do
I’ll get tripped up by the cracks in the concrete
The confidence I lack will make me run to you
Like I always do
But the only thing I see are the salt stains on my shoes
Maybe this is just your game to see how long I’ll stay
So I’m diving into the sea near my harbor
Just to see how deep your anchor lays
If I find the strength to break the chains
Maybe then I’ll sail away
But I’ll run to you like I always do
I’ll get tripped up by the cracks in the concrete
The confidence I lack will make me run to you
Like I always do
But the only thing I see are the salt stains on my shoes
The first time our fingers got tangled up I thought you were keeping me warm
You made your way right through my veins in the back of my hand
Straight up my arm and in my chest where you found my heart still beating
And I’ll run to you like I always do
I’ll get tripped up by the cracks in the concrete
The confidence I lack will make me run to you
Like I always do
But the only thing I see are the salt stains on my shoes
