Dear Shadow

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh [Verse 1] The first day that we met I saw you out of the corner of my eye, I was five You're still the thumb that I'm under You're still the thumb that I'm under [Verse 2] Oh, I hid you away, pushing you down You left me caught between a light and a dark place I'm going to ground (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh) When out looking for love, three is a crowd We'd always lose our way between the black ('Ween the black) and the grey (And the grey) [Chorus] I've been lonely, keeping you back there behind me Got this swollen feeling we could make amends But you're holding me back, yeah, you'rе holding me back I just want to run, dear shadow Walking evеry shade of who I am Maybe we could start again? [Post-Chorus] Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo [Verse 3] On the wall, I was ten You were more than a feeling By my side, unwanted The sun would see you come creeping Made of fear, I was strong There's no shame to have you here where you belong [Chorus] I've been lonely, keeping you back there behind me Got this swollen feeling we could make amends But you're holding me back, yeah, you're holding me back I just want to run, dear shadow Walking every shade of who I am Maybe we could start again? [Bridge] La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la (Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo) La-la-la-la-la-la (Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo) La-la-la-la-la (Yeah-yo-yeah-oh, yo-yo) [Chorus] I've been lonely, keeping you back there behind me Got this swollen feeling we could make amends I see it's only me needing you back there behind me In my soul, I feel like maybe we'll be friends But you're holding me back, yeah, you're holding me back And I just want to run, dear shadow Walking every shade of who I am Maybe we could start again?
