Alec Benjamin - Tie My Laces Lyrics






Just a young boy
At the starting line with his tunes on
And his shoes untied with a chip on
His shoulder side from what he tripped on
The last time he's Buzz Lightyear
With no hyper-drive
He's like Mike here
With no Nike Flight and he'll fall down
With his shoes untied
And he'll trip on to the finish line

And I'll try to write this song
If he gets there
And I want to write this song

I'd like to be the one who is on the podium
Take a photo for my mom
And show here that I've made it
I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song
Just to show you that I've won
But I'll have to tie my laces
If I'm gonna make it

In that moment
When they hit the lights in looked golden
But it didn't feel right he was frozen
With the worst frostbite was he chosen
Like an Israelite, pick the quotient
That you can't divide like two oceans
Stranded on the other side his devotions
On the other side his emotions
On the other side

And I'll try to write this song
If he gets there
And I want to write this song

I'd like to be the one who is on the podium
Take a photo for my mom
And show here that I've made it
I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song
Just to show you that I've won
But I'll have to tie my laces
If I'm gonna make it

And then I'll end this song
In 2051
And sing it for my son
And then I'll tie his laces
Just a young boy at the starting line, line, line, line

I'd like to be the one who is on the podium
Take a photo for my mom
And show here that I've made it
I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song
Just to show you that I've won
But I'll have to tie my laces
If I'm gonna make it

Just a young boy at the starting line

  8. b.... a....

    And his shoes united?

  9. E.... C....

    Who’s here in the year 2051? After he finally finished the song?!

  15. m.... ....

    i cannot believe you are touring the world now and i will get to see you performing in my city :)

  16. Z.... ....

    I remember finding this song a couple of hours after the release, and at the time I didn't really tie this with anything, but now that I'm older I have made my own meaning for the song. Thank you so much Alec ♥️

  17. G.... L....

    This song is so underated 😫 it os such a great song

    Alec no words to say love youu

  22. A.... R....

    I definitely love all of this.

  23. M.... F....

    we all start messy, not knowing what we are doing wrong. then we pay attention to the tiniest details. and we find out what it was. everything is perfect. you're ready. ready physically. ready hypothetically. but maybe not ready mentally and emotionally. maybe we shouldn't rush things.

  28. E.... ....

    his voice is so good <3 the word good doesn't even describe it. <3333333333333333333333333333333

  29. K.... M....

  32. 4.... ....

    listening to this song again after you've made it makes me want to cry tbh I'm proud

  33. M.... ....

    My friend asks me: "Who's Alec Benjamin?"
    I'm like: *._.*


    Also, the 88 people who disliked this either hit the wrong button, didn't actually listen to the song, or are deaf xD

  34. D.... -....

  37. A.... T....

    You made it.. congrats

  38. N.... G....

    I remember listening to this song in early 2017, it was one of my favourites at the time. Now I'm happy I can say you've made it man. Most would say "that song" turned out to be let me down slowly, but I keep coming back to your old stuff. Congratulations.

  39. S.... e....

    Back in 6th grade my shoe laces were ALWAYS untied and it was irritating

  40. e.... c....

  41. B.... L....

    my parents cant believe alec is turning 25. they wont stop saying he's 12 oml

  42. R.... I....

    Alec: And then I'll end this song in 2051
    Me: bold of you to assume we'll be alive in 2051

    R.... I....

    even if we won't there with still be people who love him

    R.... I....

    In 2051 I’ll be 48. I’m 15 right now... that’s crazy to think about. And if Alec is 10 years older than me, he’ll be 58. 🤯
