Cavetown
Shape of my Shadow
[Verse 1]
Seeing the shape of my shadow makes me hate the sun
I hate the warmth that it displays on everyone
Everyone but me
It looks so nice I like the colors and the shapes and the fire it makes
But still the feeling of its rays on my skin makes me irate
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It makes me sting
It makes me burn
It makes my day at least 10 times worse
Shoot it out the sky with a laser gun
That ball of gas is an eyesore
Don’t wanna see it anymore
[Chorus]
So tell me I’m not thе only one
So tell me I’m not thе only one who hates the sun
[Verse 2]
Seeing the shape of my shadow makes me hate the sun
It’s like a mirror showing me everything that’s wrong
That’s wrong with me
Every night I hope that I pray that tomorrow the clouds will show and the wind will blow and the rain will fall
And through it all the shape of my shadow would stay the same
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But would it be easier in a world made of ice
No birds in the sky
No sunset in July
And do I seem selfish
I think about it all the time
All the branches and the bones
That my body shouldn’t own
[Chorus]
So tell me I’m not the only one
So tell me I’m not the only one who hates the sun
