Barefoot on Worn Linoleum 2 (versione 2)

Verse

Sweeping the kitchen floorboards where we used to be

Mop in the bucket by the door, just you and me

Barefoot on worn linoleum, dust on my bare heels

You'd stand up tall with a smile and say something real

Dinner's almost done cooking on the old gas stove

Steam curls off the sizzling pan like fog across the drive

Pre-Chorus

Can you smell it burning? That's not just the meal

That's your laugh still floating in my chest for a while

Chorus

I'm sweeping barefoot on worn linoleum

Washing the dust we left behind

You're gone but I keep moving forward

Trying to leave what never will die

Verse 2

Mama passed down this broom with the handle worn thin

She said 'It's for wiping up love that's been spilled within

Every grain of dust I sweep is a memory made whole

I hold on tight to what you taught me when we were small

Pre-Chorus

Can you smell it burning? That's not just the meal

That's your laugh still floating in my chest for a while

Chorus

I'm sweeping barefoot on worn linoleum

Washing the dust we left behind

You're gone but I keep moving forward

Trying to leave what never will die
