In the Shadows

I'm not good with words in front of you
The wrong things always seem to leave my mouth
And I wish you had a clue
Cause my heart is like a giant empty house
I admire you, but only from afar
Your confidence and that smile you wear
But you go and drive off in your car
Who ever said that life was fair?
My heart doesn't know
That you don't feel the same
Everyday it's like a blow
Because I know I have no claim
And I know, I know, I know
But I can't make the feelings go
I slip away, the lights are out, and now I'm alone
In the shadows
I want to know what you care about
What things make your heart beat faster
My love, I've had to go without
Cause I don't want to be just another chapter
And I wish I was better at these things
If I could fix it all with a melody
I wish that I could bring down nations and kings
But I just care too much and too carelessly
My heart doesn't know
That you don't feel the same
Everyday it's like a blow
Because I know I have no claim
And I know, I know, I know
But I can't make the feelings go
I slip away, the lights are out, and now I'm alone
In the shadows
In the shadows
It's a Friday night, oh
You're standing right over there now, oh
I try not to stare, but I can't help it and you don't see
Because it'd take a lot for you to notice me
So I just slip away and you'll never know
I fit right in in the shadows
My heart doesn't know
That you don't feel the same
I hate feeling so low
No one but me to blame
And I know, I know, I know
But I can't make the feelings go
I slip away, the lights are out, and now I'm alone
In the shadows
In the shadows
Oh
The lights are out in the shadows

Wild Ride

One year later, and look here we are
I remember the two of us in your car
Changing all the words to the songs that we knew
So much change, the only constant was you
I've been places that aren't very pretty
And you saved spaces for love and a big city
I don't sleep; you dream all night
The climb is steep; we're dressed in white
I don't really know what the hell I'm doing with my life
What we want is something people say isn't wise
All I really need to know is that you'll be by my side
Cause we're in for a wild ride
We are so good at embarrassing ourselves
We take our cares and put them on a shelf
We're two old souls, and we don't mind
We look to the sky to see the stars align
I don't really know what the hell I'm doing with my life
What we want is something people say isn't wise
All I really need to know is that you'll be by my side
Cause we're in for a wild ride
Long days, long nights
Laughing at our bad luck
Fantasies, daydreams
We say they aren't real, but oh they are
We don't think about
The things that gave us our scars
Cause this is a new start
I don't know what the hell I'm doing with my life
What we want is something people say isn't wise
I don't really know what the hell I'm doing with my life
What we want is something people say isn't wise
All I really need to know is that you'll be by my side
Cause we're in for a wild ride
All I really need to know is that you'll be by my side
Cause we're in for a wild ride

Not Coming Back

I knew we were gonna need back up
Cause you bolted when the going got tough
Everyday just felt like a battle
What we had was fragile
It's no use chasing that out the door once it's gone
It's not coming back to you
When he left, drove away, no use asking him to stay
He's not coming back to you
By now he's moved on
Best you forget his smile and his charm
If he cared there'd be a letter on your doorstep
But he took it all with him when he left
He's a bird, gotta fly away now
He takes to the sky while I'm on the ground
Leaves me behind he never was one for labels
Maybe love was just a silly fable
It's no use chasing that
It's no use chasing that out the door once it's gone
It's not coming back to you
When he left, drove away, no use asking him to stay
He's not coming back to you
In the end, in the night, when you're reaching for his side
He's not coming back for you
We were not meant to be; we were coffee and tea
He's not coming back for you
In the dead of night, when I'm all alone
Thought I heard your voice on the telephone
Flowers in bloom, they need sunlight, I need you
And I thought you felt it too, but now you're
Gone
Gone, gone
But now you're gone
Gone
It's no use chasing that out the door once it's gone
It's not coming back to you
When he left, drove away, no use asking him to stay
He's not coming back to you
In the end, in the night, when you're reaching for his side
He's not coming back for you
We were not meant to be; we were coffee and tea
He's not coming back for you
He's not coming back for you
He's not coming back
He's not coming back for you
