Shadows

Intro, Ukulele strumming

Verse 1

I see the shadows hiding right behind your teeth

A thousand stories buried way too deep beneath

You’re acting fine, you’re checking boxes, playing nice

But I can see the way your heart is made of ice

And not the cold kind, just the kind that’s frozen still

Waiting for the sun to climb up over that hill

I’m not a doctor, I don’t have the magic pill

But I’ve got a blanket and a seat if you’ve got time to kill.

Pre-Chorus

And I don’t need the details, I don’t need the map

I just want to bridge the distance, close the gap

If the world is getting loud and starts to snap...

Just lean back.

Chorus

Yeah, I know you went through lots

Yeah, I know you went through things

Yeah, I know you carry troubles that I can't even start think...

Of... You... Are...

We are great, are great together. Don't hold tight, I'll bite, whoever

Tries to mess with, or mess with your sanity.

Yeah, I know you went through things.

Some things I can't start to think of... But I'm here.

Verse 2

Staring at the ceiling, 3:00 AM again

You’re counting all the ghosts that used to be your friends

I’ll be the monster under the bed that fights 'em off

I’ll be the heavy sweater when the air gets soft

You’re a masterpiece that’s been a little bit defaced

But honestly, the cracks are my favorite part of the place

So don't you run, don't you disappear without a trace

I’m keeping pace.

Pre-Chorus

And I don’t need the details, I don’t need the map

I just want to bridge the distance, close the gap

If the world is getting loud and starts to snap...

Just lean back.

Chorus

Yeah, I know you went through lots

Yeah, I know you went through things

Yeah, I know you carry troubles that I can't even start think...

Of... You... Are...

We are great, are great together. Don't hold tight, I'll bite, whoever

Tries to mess with, or mess with your sanity.

Yeah, I know you went through things.

Some things I can't start to think of... But I'm here.

Bridge

I’m here... through the static.

I’m here... through the panic.

It’s a little bit dramatic, but I’m kind of an addict

For the way you look when you finally let it go.

YEAH, I’M HERE!

Chorus

Yeah, I know you went through lots

Yeah, I know you went through things

Yeah, I know you carry troubles that I can't even start think...

Of... You... Are...

We are great, are great together. Don't hold tight, I'll bite, whoever

Tries to mess with, or mess with your sanity.

Yeah, I know you went through things.

Some things I can't start to think of... But I'm here.
