My Shadow
[Verse 1: Snibunny]
While some people say that love is the light
I think love is like the Shadow with us every night
Now there's no question and there's no mistake
I want you to be My Shadow and stay in my wake
Because I don't have to touch you or feel you there
Just to feel your presence looming in my air
My heart cries out for you in every bit
Cause you as My Shadow's a perfect fit
You've redefined and defined all that I find good
When you crashed into my heart as hard as Wormwood Would
Over and over I whisper your name
Aloud and alone and it's always the same
I'm singing it out til my throat runs sore
That you should be My Shadow along these shores
Cause of all of the others I've come to know
None can hold a candle to my shadow
[Chorus]
So come be My Shadow you don't have to follow me
With the sun at my back My Shadow take the lead
Oh Shadow, My Shadow's - the better half of me
So won't you be My Shadow - not my darkest memory
[Verse 2]
There's nothing as bold as the story untold
I will follow each chapter as they each unfold
I follow your lead like a marionette
When it's not even you just your silhouette
Nothing on earth quite pulls my strings
Like the words to the song that My Shadow sings
Without a doubt I've never been more sure
Than I am with you as my paramour
All of my past has just been a ruse
Oh My Shadow you're my greatest muse
I keep on falling for you so fast
Outrunning, escaping what once was my past
From all of the others I've come to know
None could hold a candle to My Shadow
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
My heart's pouring out for you once again
Though you've knocked me down like a bowling pin
My indecision is gone right now
You've ignited my mind and tamed my heart somehow
Outside these walls I patiently stand
Waiting for My Shadow to take my hand
So I'm living now in ambiguity
So sure that uncertainty is a true beauty
When my day is brightened so joyously
Since My Shadow gets darker more easily seen
So thank you dear for the irony
To have My Shadow that enlightens me
When I'm lost and I'm travelling on my own
My Shadow makes me not feel alone
More than any other I've come to know
Still none can hold a candle to My Shadow
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I can walk each day with my head held high
For in all of my motives you are my drive
I'm wrapped up in you and it stands to reason
Why I haven't noticed this change of season
With these blooming feelings I've failed to boot
I cannot expel them all from my roots
For when My Shadow leaves there's an interlude
As pain stems out from my solitude
Like a nightshade that sprouts up so bright and full
My Shadow grows far more beautiful
Than all of the others I've ever know
I swear that none can hold a candle To My Shadow
While some people say that love is the light
I think love is like the Shadow with us every night
Now there's no question and there's no mistake
I want you to be My Shadow and stay in my wake
Because I don't have to touch you or feel you there
Just to feel your presence looming in my air
My heart cries out for you in every bit
Cause you as My Shadow's a perfect fit
You've redefined and defined all that I find good
When you crashed into my heart as hard as Wormwood Would
Over and over I whisper your name
