New Shoes
Overcoats Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel like a Gemini
Always changing my mind
Never picking a side
Oh I feel like I need more time
Cuz I'm still a child
Cuz I'm still a child

Out on the edge, I'm standing tall
In my new suede shoes
That I spilled something on
But it won't be long til I make a move
I've been in the same place
Gotta find my own way
Think I'm gonna go upstate
In my new suede shoes
I'm standing tall
In my new suede shoes

I'm almost 29
But I'm a daddy's girl
Haven't seen the world
I'm old enough to know
How to take a slow dive
In my fake fur coat
On Riverside

Oh I'm out on the edge, I'm standing tall
In my new suede shoes
That I spilled something on
But it won't be long til I make a move
I've been in the same place
Gotta find my own way
Think I'm gonna go upstate
In my new suede shoes
I'm standing tall
In my new suede shoes

In my new suede shoes
Out on the edge
Im standing tall, in my, in my
But it won't be long til I make a move
I've been in the same place
Gotta find my own way
Think I'm gonna go upstate
In my new suede shoes




I'm standing tall
In my new suede shoes

In the illustration for this tarot card, we create a protective shell for ourselves. Under a sky of birds and amid a landscape of palm trees, we are singing to each other about the utter exhaustion of loving someone and receiving apathy in return. This song is about how, in those moments, everything loses color and joy. It’s about loving someone and asking simply to be treated right in return. We recorded this all in one take, facing each other in the studio. The backdrop is acoustic guitar over a field recording of birds chirping outside our house in Beachwood Canyon, where we were staying while we made the album. This song acts as a question mark, at the end of the record. It’s a final moment of doubt and insecurity, after the triumph of courage and perseverance. The fight is never really over. The Fight out now: @t
