Lyrics
Chorus
Oh I’ve got a hole in my shoe
And the rain knows just what to do
Drips and dribbles make their debut
Cold little puddle in my left sock too
Post-Chorus
Splish splash, ooh
Guess I’m waterproof-adjacent
Oh oh, not quite waterproof
Verse 2
Woman at the bus stop gives me that look
She sees my limping with my toes all shook
Could’ve worn boots but I tried to be cute
Now I squish and I squeak with each commute
Pre-Chorus
Maybe someone upstairs thinks it’s fun
To rain on my parade just as I run
Chorus
Oh I’ve got a hole in my shoe
And the rain knows just what to do
Drips and dribbles make their debut
Cold little puddle in my left sock too
Post-Chorus
Splish splash, ooh
Guess I’m waterproof-adjacent
Oh oh, not quite waterproof
Bridge
I step in a puddle as wide as the street
Left foot’s a sponge and right still dry and neat
People hurry by umbrellas all in bloom
Tip my soggy sneakers like a blue cartoon
Verse 3
Rain taps a rhythm through canvasy seams
Counting out seconds between shivers and streams
Sloshing through minutes til my stop appears
Waterlogged wanderer conquers her fears
Outro
Maybe dry shoes are something to borrow
But today I’ll be soaked with a story tomorrow
Raindrops and laughter with every squish through
Wearing this puddle, my badge, my breakthrough
