In an Interview with AntiMusic.com, Lead Singer, Elliot Coleman, talks about the creation of “Grip Shoes” and the meaning behind the song:
“Grip Shoes” is without a doubt one of my favorite songs I have been a part of. We had started to write our second album and made some instrumental demos prior...
It's tough, supporting what seems like fantasies
Clouds collapse your lungs
The bends have had their ways
It's rough, watching potential slip into the fray
Perspective lost, spinning out
We're not boys just climbing trees
You say you're always living out your dreams
You're just sleeping
Crooked floors should never stop your feet
From moving
(Hopeless)
They'll ask, "Whatever happened to him anyway?"
Water in your chest
Drown your cries again
We'll say, "He was exactly who we thought he was"
Perspective lost, spinning out
We're all boys just losing years
You say you're always living out your dreams
You're just sleeping
Crooked floors should never stop your feet
From moving
Say you need it more
And you took it all
I didn't look and I don't have it now
I couldn't watch you fall
You say you're always living out your dreams
You're just sleeping
Crooked floors should never stop your feet
From moving
From moving
From moving
From moving
From moving
