A contemplative track about watching someone you care about struggle with simple decisions while you're powerless to help.
[Verse 1] You're standing in the Target aisle Holding two identical boxes Asking me which brand of batteries Will make your remote work better Like I'm some kind of copper-top oracle Like my guess carries more weight than yours [Chorus] Same shoes, different day Velcro straps you can't undo Asking me to tie them tighter When the problem isn't loose [Verse 2] Your therapist costs more than my rent But you still call me at 2 AM Wanting me to decode the text Your ex sent three weeks ago "Hope you're well" - seven letters That somehow need translation [Chorus] Same shoes, different day Velcro straps you can't undo Asking me to tie them tighter When the problem isn't loose [Bridge] I love you but I can't be Your manual for living Some instructions only come From trying and failing
