Chapter 4: The Opposite of flow

Just a Pebble in My Shoe
It’s often the little things that knock us out of flow. This is a song about just that.


Just a Pebble in My Shoe by Brandon Wilson

Just a pebble in my shoe
Just a story in the news
Just a wrinkle in my old chinos I don’t wear no more

I sent a text I saw you read but no reply
Three dots appeared then disappeared faster than light
It’s been days I question myself all the time
Did I do something an unintended slight

I come to find…. it’s in my mind

Just a pebble in my shoe
Just a story in the news
Just a wrinkle in my old chinos I don’t wear no more

I fell asleep and missed our drink the other night
Tried to call you left five messages to try
To make it up to you contrition for my crime
For a day the silence crawled on by

I come to find…. it’s in my mind

Just a pebble in my shoe
Just a story in the news
Just a wrinkle in my old chinos I don’t wear no more

Catch myself down rabbit holes from time to time
Worst conclusions drawn before there’s any sign
These little ideas burrow deep before they hide
Keeping clouds wrapped round my head most nights

Just a pebble in my shoe
Just a story in the news
Just a wrinkle in my old chinos I don’t wear no more
