Shadows
Lips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm unsure if to believe it
Too many times it's knocked me out
I can't explain
Just a feeling
Catching me out

Out of the darkness I heard you calling
Calling aloud my name
Into the shadows I went running
Searching for where it came

It's not what they say
it's not what they do

Am I alone in thinking
That there is a written end




I'm trusting in this direction
When really i've no idea
