Sole Mates (raw demo)

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every sidewalk crack is a map of your day
The way you press down, the things you don't say
I study the pattern, the scuff on the stone
A language of pressure I claim as my own
That delicate arch, a cathedral in grace
The story of every travelled-to place
From the top of the stairs to the end of the street
It’s the beautiful rhythm of your two feet

[Chorus]
Some people search for a heavenly sign
But your perfect impression is holier, and mine
It's a sacred design, it's totally true
You’re my sole mate, honey, I heel for you

[Verse 2]
A little bit worn from the weight that you carry
A print in the dust that is my sanctuary
Each line is a future, each crease is a past
A beautiful sculpture not meant to last
Got a private collection, a secret I keep
In a locked little drawer, from 1886
A mismatched companion, a testament to
The singular journey of walking as you

[Chorus]
Some people search for a heavenly sign
But your perfect impression is holier, and mine
It's a sacred design, it's totally true
You’re my sole mate, honey, I heel for you

[Bridge]
They say it's the lowest, a thing of the earth
But I see the starting point, the measure of worth
The first point of contact, the last to let go
The groundwork for every feeling I know

[Chorus]
'Cause some people search for a heavenly sign
But your perfect impression is holier, and mine
It's a sacred design, it's totally true
You’re my sole mate, honey, I heel for you

[Outro]
I'm with you, step for step
Yeah, every single one
Or am I just ten paces behind?
