Shadows

The city carved a silhouette
On the ocean after dark
Over The lonely and the holy
And the red blood beating hearts
Up from the dirty black water
A shadow void form
Raised itself out of the river
And it climbed upon the shore
Neon on black top
There gentle rain downtown
The shadow pooling underneath me
As it follows on the ground
I kissed you when I saw you
And I stared deep into your eyes
I meant to say ‘I love you’
But instead I said goodbye
Shadows in the city
I’m a stranger to myself
On these streets I’m someone else
Shadows in the city
Like a demon in the dark
Come to tear us apart
For all my good intentions
There's a shadow in this dark
It comes to me infrequently
And breaks your perfect heart
I don't know why I do it
(I) Apologize but it's too Late
A single tear you leave me here and
Shadow slips away
Shadows in the city
I’m a stranger to myself
On these streets I’m someone else
Shadows in the city
Like a demon in the dark
Come to tear us apart

Rush hour
On an uptown train
Doors open
As she walks in
She’s soaking
Caught in the rain
Her skin shines
Crystalline
Eyes meet
You know where this goes
Her key’s in
They take off their clothes
They’re soaking
Caught in a dream
Her skin shines like
Crystalline
The problem with believers
They’ll let anyone in the door
The problem with deceivers
Is all the bodies buried under the floor boards
Sailors knew sirens would sing
From rocks off the cliffs by the sea
The monsters with waiting teeth
Their skin shines
Crystalline
Rush hour
On an uptown train
Doors open
As she walks in
She’s soaking
Caught in the rain
Her skin shines
Crystalline

Glowing windows in the buildings from the elevated train
I see a thousand different stories pass
And faces without names
I forget why I came here
And forget why I stay
And wonder if they'd notice
If I tried to Slipped away
What if I kept going
What if I don't get off tonight
What if I ride this to the edges
Through the darkness to the light
Could I find you there?
Could I find you there?
If I slipped away?
What if there's no answer
We’re all just hearts that have to fight
Through the dangers of the rapids
Through the darkness to the light
Could I find you there?
Could I find you there?
If I slipped away?

I fell in love with the feeling.
I didn't fall in love with you.
There was a song I was singing
But it wasn't meant for you
And I'm sorry I'm sorry
That I can't stay
I'm sorry
We're light years away
I bite your lip
And you taste like summer time
I can’t forget
The days when you were mine
Do you wander the streets every night
Just to find me too?
Lightyears
Echos
In the streetlights
In between those
Spaces in the moment
Come and find me
Where we let go
Come and find me
Where we let go
I fell in love with a feeling
And your funny faces
That you were beautiful and broken
In all the right places
I'm sorry I'm sorry
That I can't stay
I'm sorry
We're light years away
Millions behind or lightyears ahead
Our time is now- our time was then
And I hear your voice inside of my head but
It’s just a silhouette
Do you wonder what happened
To all of the love we lose?
Lightyears
Echos
In the streetlights
In between those
Spaces in the moment
Come and find me
Where we let go
Come and find me
Where we let go
Lightyears
Do you want your tears back?
Lightyears
They’re gone
I’m sorry
