You taught me these chords I thought I'd never learn
We were only fifteen, but we grew fast in the dirt
You were the life of the party and a friend when it hurt
They say "Flames die quicker, the brighter they burn"

And now I think about who we'd both become
I've done some growin' up while you're forever young
Your parents gave me your vans when you were gone
They show me where to turn when I come undone

I wish you could hear me and maybe you do
I want you to know that I still walk in your shoes
Though I'm moving on now, you're still by my side
And we'll be roadtrippin' every step of my life
I still walk in your shoes
I still walk in your shoes

And now I think about who we'd both become
I've done some growin' up while you're forever young
