Modest Mouse - Lace Your Shoes lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't wait to see you lace your shoes Things were hazy, but that all stopped with you We pass by headstones on a walk I overthink something, then I forget I should talk I can't wait to see you go to school I hate that this will happen, but I know that it will happen Someone's gonna be cruel I can't believe the stork didn't need a crane One, then two, then three of you, I'm working to be better So that you get to do the same We counted dark spots on the moon The stars were barely visible, I know that I should let you Count them far from this city roof [Chorus] 'Cause the sunshine pours out of your mouth and eyes 'Cause the sunshine spills out your mouth and eyes And out onto the floor and I Can't see nothing anymore No, I can't see nothing anymore No, I can't see anything no more It fills the sky all the way from the floor And I And I don't bother looking away from it And I can't see nothing anymore No, I can't see nothing anymore No, I can't see nothing anymore 'Cause it fills the sky all the way from the floor [Verse 2] I can't wait to see you go to school I can't make out all the words you say Your sister just makes noises like some sort of bird That I just cannot seem to place I spend too much time out on the deck Staring out at nothing, while nothing at all Blankly stares right back And I hope there's still something left for you I can't wait to see which paths you choose So that you can see animals Far away from the stupid city zoo [Chorus] 'Cause the sunshine pours out of your mouth and eyes 'Cause the sunshine spills out your mouth and eyes And out all on the floor and I Can't see nothing anymore No, I can't see nothing anymore Well, I can't see nothing anymore It fills the sky all the way from the floor And I And I don't bother looking away from And I can't see nothing anymore No, I can't see nothing anymore No, I can't see nothing anymore 'Cause it fills the sky all the way from the floor [Outro] And I can't wait to see you go to school Well, I can't wait to see you lace your shoes (I can't wait to see you go to school) (I can't wait to see which paths you choose) And I can't wait to see you go to school (I can't wait to see you give 'em hell) And I can't wait to see you go to school I can't wait to see you lace your shoes
