[Intro – Male] Yeah… If we could trade hearts for a night You’d see why my love don’t come light Every scar got a story, every sigh got a reason I just need you to feel my season… --- [Hook – Both] If we can switch shoes, I’ll give you every pair of mine So you can walk a mile in ’em, one foot at a time See the mud, the pain, the grind, the shine You’d know why I move the way I move, and love the way I rhyme (female harmony) If we switch shoes, baby, promise you won’t cry Every step I take got tears I can’t hide But maybe if you felt what’s inside You’d fall in love with my broken side --- [Verse 1 – Male] Walk in my Timbs, feel the city in the sole Pressure on my chest, but I still play my role Trap dreams, R&B seams, stitching pain in my tone Tryna make love, but I keep calling your phone Heart heavy like a chain with no charm Every time I reach for you, I’m disarmed Baby, if you wore my soul like suede You’d know why I pray after every play I made --- [Verse 2 – Female] Slide in my heels, feel the weight of my curves Every glance they throw, I’m fighting off the words Got a crown in my closet, still searching for peace They love my body, but forget my belief If you could feel this hurt behind my gloss You’d see a queen with a cost Every step bleeds red-bottom truths Every love I lost had your face in the proof --- [Hook – Both] If we can switch shoes, I’ll give you every pair of mine So you can walk a mile in ’em, one foot at a time See the mud, the pain, the grind, the shine You’d know why I move the way I move, and love the way I rhyme (female ad-libs) You’d see my scars as jewels, my hurt as fine You’d wear my heart, but it’d still beat in time --- [Bridge – Male x Female – call & response] Male: Would you still want me if the pain came with it? Female: I’d lace you up slow, baby, just to fit it Male: Would you walk my line if it burned your feet? Female: I’d dance in your fire just to feel your heat Male: You know love ain’t soft, it’s leather and tears Female: But I like it rough — I been sewing for years --- [Verse 3 – Trap-Soul Break – Both alternating] Male: I been running through rain just to see a ray of you Female: I been walking through pain just to lay with truth Male: My soles worn out, but my heart still brand new Female: If we trade shoes, baby, I’ll still choose you (beat slides into 808 groove, soft keys, bass breathing) --- [Outro – Both, harmonized] If we could switch shoes tonight… Maybe love would fit just right You’d see my soul ain’t perfect, but it’s yours to find So take these heels, take these Timbs, and walk in mine…
