"Brand New Sidewalk" lyrics - NICKEL CREEK

Five years ago, you pressed your hand
Into a brand new sidewalk
It's well-worn now, and though some tried
Yours is the only print there
You might not have meant to, but
It's done you can't take it out
You're shy about what fortune lent you
Is that what this is about?

Smile while you can, 'cause when they find
You're not amused, not really
They'll rob you blind, of what they gave
Yes you gave them that power
You might not have meant to, but
It's done you can't take it back
Cry about where fame sent you
Without a plan of attack

Five years ago, I warned you, dear
As a concerned admirer
You never knew, you never heard
The veil was still in place
Thank God you hate to listen
If I would not be here
Lifting the veil to kiss you
Next to a brand new sidewalk
