Paul Westerberg Footsteps lyrics

They bought me a suit
Gave me fifty dollars
Gone today, I'll be here tomorrow
Need a leap of faith or a jump of stupid
Either way, don't know what I'm doing

Time, in time
You hear my footsteps
Time, time
Baby, hear my footsteps

Well, it's heads, I win, tails, we flip again
I bluffed and lost, hated, so they win
Asking you, smile for the people
Just passing through the eye of a needle

Time, in time
You'll hear my footsteps
Time, time
In time, you'll hear my footsteps

Walk a thousand feet
I'm so afraid to be free


Won't wait for a girl
Honey, you're mistaken
Weight of the world
Leave my shoulders aching

Every night it's gone
Ain't sure what I had
I'm gonna clap for myself
Think with my hands

A leap of faith or a jump of stupid
Either way, don't know what I'm doing
If you follow me around
With a tape recorder
I'm sure you'll get a load of footsteps

Feel my footsteps
Footsteps
Footsteps
