New Shoes
Nutini Paolo Lyrics

Woke up cold one Tuesday
The singer woke up feeling uncomfortable on a Tuesday morning

I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
The singer seems physically and emotionally exhausted

I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life
The singer feels incomplete or unfulfilled

So I quickly opened the wardrobe
In search of a change or solution, the singer opened their closet

Pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean
The singer grabbed the first clean clothes they saw

Topped it off with a pair of old shoes
The singer wore a pair of shoes they've had for a while

That were ripped around the seams
The shoes had visible signs of wear and tear

And I thought these shoes just don't suit me
The singer feels uncomfortable with their appearance in worn-out shoes

Hey, I put some new shoes on
The singer decided to wear new shoes

And suddenly everything is right
Wearing new shoes improved the singer's mood and attitude

And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
The singer's improved mood attracted positive attention from others

Oh short on money but long on time
The singer may not have a lot of money, but they have plenty of time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
The singer is leisurely walking outside in pleasant weather

And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
Although the singer is late, they don't feel the need to explain themselves

'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
The singer is confident and comfortable in their new shoes

Woke up late one Thursday
On another day, the singer woke up late

And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes and I
The singer seems disoriented and overwhelmed

Felt like there were two days missing
The singer lost track of time and feels like they missed some time

As I focused on the time
The singer is trying to get a grip on the situation

And I made my way to the kitchen
The singer goes to the kitchen for some reason

But I had to stop from the shock of what
Something in the kitchen surprised or shocked the singer

I found a room full of all my friends all are dancing round and round
The singer discovers a room full of friends who are all dancing

And I thought hello new shoes
The singer remembers their new shoes and thinks positively of them

Bye bye blues
The singer's improved mood means they no longer feel sad or down

Take me wandering through these streets
The singer is expressing a desire to explore the city

Where bright lights and angels meet
The singer wants to go to vibrant, exciting places

Stone to stone they take me on
The singer is being led by the excitement and energy of the city

I'm walking to the break of dawn
The singer is so excited, they're willing to stay up all night

Oh hey, I put some new shoes on
Reiterating that the singer is wearing new shoes
