My shadow's stitched tight to my feet She follows every step and dances much too close around me I've memorized her breathing A tempo much too easy to give into The soundtrack of the fall She's making up the words as she goes along In perfect time, she weeps In every line she sings She's making it known that I'm scared and alone And I hate spending time with myself In goodness may she lay In golden light halfway It's where we could meet Just my shadow and feet 'Cause I hate spending time away With myself and the gray Myself and the gray When everything is quiet When everything is simple Will I find the nerve to believe? If the spirit is closer to those who are lower Then why can't I receive? The water is colder as I'm growing older It hurts when you wade to the deep To throw your head under and over again Won't take or transform you Or wake you and warn you In perfect time, she weeps In every line she sings She's making it known that I'm scared and alone And I hate spending time with myself In goodness may she lay In golden light halfway It's where we could meet Just my shadow and feet And I hate spending time away With myself and the gray Myself and the gray With myself and the gray With myself and the gray
