"Shadows" lyrics

You're harbouring a private sadness
I still remember all your magic
Even if you don't
The shadows always seemed to find you
Thought no one knows you better than I do
I'll just have to wait here patient for them to go

For I know you'll come back around
I'm looking for a little light
That the shadows cannot find
I'd give it all back
If I could just find a way to help you cope
And pull you out whenever they come
The harder I try, yeah, the tighter they hold
I know, I know I should know better
But with you I don't

Just stay on the line
Give me a little time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you
Just stay on the line
I'll be there in time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you

I try to wrap my arms around you
But someone has already found you
And they won't let you go
The shadows know you better than I do
They seem to know exactly where to find you
I'll just have to wait here patient for them to go

What if you don't come back around?
In this blue twilight
I found a place that we could hide

I'd give it all back
If I could just find a way to help you cope
And pull you out whenever they come
The harder I try, yeah, the tighter they hold
I know, I know I should know better
But with you I don't

Just stay on the line
Give me a little time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you
Just stay on the line
I'll be there in time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you

I just need a moment to compose myself
I just need a moment to compose myself
I just need a moment to compose myself
I just need a moment

Just stay on the line
Give me a little time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you
Just stay on the line
I'll be there in time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you
