about

A dreary but catchy lost love song.

lyrics

there’s a shadow on my shoulder
been there for days
somethin’ in between us
too difficult to say
thing about a secret
it gets a life of it’s own
dog you on your footsteps
until you’re never alone

it’s alright
there’s no reason to blame
everybody’s had a hard one
you don’t have to be ashamed
it never really mattered
was such a beautiful start
but now there’s a shadow on my shoulder
keepin’ us apart

our love was like a window
I saw the sun alive in the sky
our love was like a mirror
no where to run from the look in your eye

now I’m watchin’ while the rain falls
from out my window sill
I never really knew you
I guess I never will
life is kind of funny that way
you know you never really know
but now there’s a shadow on my shoulder callin’
I guess I better go

our love was like a window
I saw the sun alive in the sky
our love was like a mirror
no where to run from the look in your eye
