In My Shoes
Cassidy & Freeway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hopin' my imagination might run away with me.
Thought I'd picture every vision that a man could dream about,
Till you walked through those swing doors and stepped down off that cloud.
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams?
A walkin' talkin' lovin' fantasy.
Did you come here tonight just to rescue me?
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams.?
And I said to myself "this is too good to believe".
You look like you belong in a Sunday school choir,
Instead of in this honky tonk settin' me on fire.
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams?
A walkin' talkin' lovin' fantasy.
Darlin' did you come here tonight just to rescue me?
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams.?
Are you just wishful thinkin'? A figment of my mind.
Well, I'll worry about that tomorrow, right now, it's closin' time.
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams?
A walkin' talkin' lovin' fantasy.
Darlin' did you come here tonight just to rescue me?
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams.?
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams.?
The lyrics of Cassidy & Freeway's song In My Shoes discuss the singer's disbelief at the appearance of a beautiful woman in a place he wouldn't normally expect to find her. He describes how he had built up an image of perfection in his head and had never seen anyone who came close to it until he saw her. He can't believe how she ended up there and why she would be interested in him. The singer seems to be in awe of the woman and wonders if she was deliberately sent to him to rescue him.
The song uses religious references, such as the mention of an angel, and creates a dreamlike atmosphere. The singer describes his imagination running away with him, suggesting that he may have created this perfect image in his head to escape from reality. However, the appearance of the woman seems to signify the possibility that his dream could come true. The use of the phrase "wildest dreams" suggests that this is unlikely to happen, but the singer is unable to ignore the possibility.
The song expresses a sense of wonder and disbelief at the appearance of something unexpected and beautiful in an unlikely setting. It hints at the possibility that dreams can come true, even when they seem impossible. The song is a romantic ballad that conveys the idea that even in the most unlikely places, true love can be found.

Well I built a million ravin beauties out of your make believe,
I imagined countless scenarios with you in my mind
Hopin' my imagination might run away with me.
I wished that my thoughts could come to life
Thought I'd picture every vision that a man could dream about,
I envisioned every possible desire I could have
Till you walked through those swing doors and stepped down off that cloud.
But then you came in and exceeded all of my expectations
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams?
I can't believe someone as amazing as you exists in my imagination
A walkin' talkin' lovin' fantasy.
You're like a dream come to life
Did you come here tonight just to rescue me?
Did you purposefully come into my life to save me from my loneliness?
Well, I thought I died and went to heaven when you set down next to me.
It felt like I was in paradise when you sat beside me
And I said to myself "this is too good to believe".
I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have you by my side
You look like you belong in a Sunday school choir,
You have an angelic appearance, like you belong in church
Instead of in this honky tonk settin' me on fire.
But here you are, igniting my passion in this bar
Are you just wishful thinkin'? A figment of my mind.
Sometimes I wonder if you're just a product of my imagination
Well, I'll worry about that tomorrow, right now, it's closin' time.
But right now, the bar is closing, and I don't want to lose you
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams?
You're too perfect for me to have imagined on my own
A walkin' talkin' lovin' fantasy.
You're like a dream come to life
Darlin' did you come here tonight just to rescue me?
Did you purposefully come into my life to save me from my loneliness?
What's an angel like you doin' in my wildest dreams.?
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I can't believe you're real
