cities and small towns

My heart is a box full of insoles
For shoes that never quite fit
And I've bunions and blisters
And stiletto disasters
Running after a love I can't keep

Cities and small towns
It's always the same
They'll burn out your hope
By the hard light of day
And letters in the river
Are blurring the lines
Between what was a future
And what's on my mind

My heart is a box full of letters
For love I forgot how to write
And I've lived with those words
That nobody heard
Running after a shoe leather life
Cities and small towns
It's always a game
A balance between fortune
And only fame
