I wish that I could float
Float up from the ground
I will never know
What that's like
You have a way about you
I wish that I had
Thought it was impossible
To live and love like you
Funny how we all can change
If we just try to
Thought it was impossible
To live and love like you
One day you will be taller
Taller than the sky
Until that day you will be
Here with us below
Magic will do what magic does
Living in your eyes
Do you think someday soon
You will have the time
I could use another hand
To help pull me through
Someday these hospital stays
Get the best of me
Trying to fix my mind
Still trying to fix my mind
Trying to work it out
I'm still trying to fix my mind
Still trying to fix my mind
I'm still trying to fix my mind
About This Song
"Cloudy Shoes" is a tender, melancholic meditation on admiration and personal transformation, centered around the speaker's longing to embody the grace and love they witness in another person. Jurado's delicate folk-rock arrangement features gentle acoustic guitar and his characteristically soft, contemplative vocals that perfectly complement the song's wistful tone. The lyrics explore themes of self-doubt, aspiration, and the possibility of change, with the repeated phrase "thought it was impossible to live and love like you" capturing both deep admiration and personal inadequacy. The imagery of floating and growing "taller than the sky" suggests a spiritual yearning for transcendence, while the metaphor of being "here with us below" grounds the song in humble human connection. This track exemplifies Jurado's ability to find profound meaning in simple, intimate observations, making it a standout piece from his Saint Bartlett album that resonates with anyone who has looked up to someone they wished they could become.
