To The Girl Who Marked Her Territory, He’s All Yours
This one was actually inspired by lyrics I wrote. I couldn’t decide if I would call it ‘Pink Slippers’ or ‘Only Temporary’. What do you think? #PinkSlippers #OnlyTemprorary #SaturdayShare
Whose pink slippers are staying in your hall?
They weren’t here when I left
Between then & now…
They walked themselves in?
Are they (fucking) magic?
How did they get here?
Like I don’t know
Why do I ask such silly questions
Foolish little girl am I…
I’ll be quiet now
Chorus:
I see them when I leave
Like a flashback
I wonder whose feet slip into them
It’s obvious when I come back
They have moved
You don’t even care enough
To put them away
You want me to notice
To remember my place here
Is only temporary
Verse:
I knew what you wanted from me
When I answered your call
You have made your position clear
I don’t know why it bugs me so much
To know that she was here
So I take every thing when I leave
I don’t know why
But I don’t want to let her know I was here…
And her place too…
Is only temporary
Chorus:
I see them when I leave
Like a flashback
I wonder whose feet slip into them
It’s obvious when I come back
They have moved
You don’t even care enough
To put them away
You want me to notice
To remember my place here
Is only temporary
Bridge:
You can leave behind your slippers
You may think you’ve staked your claim
I hate to tell you Cinderella
We are both the same
And no matter what you leave behind
Our place here
Is only temporary.
Chorus:
I see them when I leave
Like a flashback
I wonder whose feet slip into them
It’s obvious when I come back
They have moved
You don’t even care enough
To put them away
You want me to notice
To remember my place here
Is only temporary
