Bad Examples - Reaching for Shadows
I keep on looking where you were sleeping
I see the imprint of your body on the sheet
I keep on hiding, thinking you’ve found me
I give you nothing and you give me borrowed time
(chorus)
Feels like I’m reaching for shadows, shadows
Looks like I’m holding on to water again
Every time I think I’ve figured out what we’re after
I’m reaching for shadows
We say we’re honest, but what do we know
We tell ourselves so many lies we think are true
And it’s no secret we’re more than just friends
But we’re so much less than we ever really knew
Chorus
We put a label on it, just so we won’t talk about it
Two masters of deception -- seeing all, but not each other
And I believe it’s time we stop pretending
We’re a pair of shadows... shadows...
I keep on feeling where you’re not touching
I’m tired of dancing with a shadow on the wall
And if we’re terrified of being lonely
Why do we struggle so hard to remain alone?
Chorus
