Shadows
chptrs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh I'm too tired to think about it
Does it make you worry now?
'Cause I've been talking in my sleep again
Around all the dreams we had
We're seeing shadows on the water
Oh the air's so honest
But we made a promise
To let the rest of our lives decide
To let the rest of our lives decide
I woke up in a cold sweat but I found you
And I wade through my worries they're crippling
For crying out loud we'll wait
Cause you've been talking in your sleep again
Around all the dreams you have
We're seeing shadows on the water
Oh the air's so honest
We're seeing shadows on the water
But we made a promise
To let the rest of our lives decide
To let the rest of our lives decide
