Shadow on My Mind

Intro

Streetlights fade, the night begins

I find your shadow everywhere it's ever been

Empty chairs, another sign

Same old hesitation slipping from your mind

Verse 0

You move like you’ve always known

Every silent promise hanging on the phone

Always waiting for your cue

Thinking any second I’ll unravel you

Verse 1

Morning breaks where silence falls

Coffee cooling on the counter, waiting for your call

You slip on yesterday’s disguise

Never letting feelings show behind your eyes

I memorized each gentle line

The little ways you never let our highs unwind

Tracing circles in my mind

Knowing you’ll be gone before sunlight can find

Pre-Chorus

When I reach, you turn away slow

Secrets tangled in the echo

And I’m left holding the space

Wishing you would stay

Chorus

There you go again

Slippin right out of my hands

Caught up in your shadow, baby

Leavin without a plan

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, here we are

Oh oh, driftin far

Verse 2

You got a way of closin doors

Sayin less but meanin more

Your reflection's on my mind

I'm chasin what I can't define

Pre-Chorus

And every time I try to hold on

You just fade and move along

All my words fall like rain

Still I call out your name

Chorus

There you go again

Slippin right out of my hands

Caught up in your shadow, baby

Leavin without a plan

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, here we are

Oh oh, driftin far

Bridge

Tell me what I'm missing, is it written in the lines?

Promises we painted start to blur and realign

Holdin onto moments fading quicker every night

Can't escape your motion, pulling me outside the light

Outro

There you go again, slipping further late at night

Trace your footsteps in my memory, try and hold them tight

All these pieces scattered, still I'm reaching out for you

There you go again, disappear into the blue

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, here we are

Oh oh, driftin far

Reprise

Late calls on the windowpane

Quiet traces linger, but you’re gone again

Unsaid words fall between lines

Echoes of a promise never left behind

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, here we are

Oh oh, driftin far

Tag

There you go again

Just like the wind, I feel you slip right through my hands

There you go again
