lyrics

slide into another's shoes
slip on their socks too
go on check out the view
see from where they're looking at you

don't be surprised
when seeing your eyes
blue colors they do lie
veneering clearly what's wise

and why you'll never know
no you'll never know
what lies behind

slip into another day
slide out and far away
but you will still stay
forever in your skin that way

and why you'll never know
no you'll never know
what lies behind
another's eyes
in their mind
no you'll never truly find
what lies behind
