Shadow Sickness

I've tried a thousand times
To drink your face out of my mind
I can't erase those emerald eyes
The way the looked at me
When we were broke and 23
Underneath the California sky

Nice to know you're getting by
Why do I even, even try?

I can't help this
Shadow sickness

I lie away at night
Wishing for a different timeline
When you and I are side by side
Listening to records that we used to spin like every night
Mouthing out the loud parts line by line

Nice to know you're getting by
Why do I even, even try?

I can't help this
Shadow sickness

Try as I may
Can't help but to stay inside all day
Thinkin' bout the one who got away
Really nothing more that I can say

I can't help this
Shadow sickness

Nice to know you're getting by
Why do I even, even try?

I've tried a thousand times
To drink your face out of my mind
