The Milk Carton Kids - Shooting Shadows lyrics
[The Milk Carton Kids - Shooting Shadows lyrics]
I go out walking early in the mornings
You're probably sleeping or still hungover
Quiet evenings reading in the twilight
Of all the things that cross my mind
We're getting older i hear your grandpa died
I read it in the paper
It caught me by surprise
It made me think of when I lost mine
When I asked you said that you were fine
And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now
No I could not see as time went by
My shadow fading out
I'm tough as nails, I test it all the time
I make my bed and then I lie
I try to say what's mine is mine
But, it's just another story line
I've tried to think what happened to the fire
Its burning out, made me into a liar
Made me feel like I'd been shooting shadows
Letting all that really mattered go
And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now
No I could not see as time went by
My shadow fading out
You're probably sleeping or still hungover
Quiet evenings reading in the twilight
Of all the things that cross my mind
We're getting older i hear your grandpa died
I read it in the paper
It caught me by surprise
It made me think of when I lost mine
When I asked you said that you were fine
And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now
No I could not see as time went by
My shadow fading out
I'm tough as nails, I test it all the time
I make my bed and then I lie
I try to say what's mine is mine
But, it's just another story line
I've tried to think what happened to the fire
Its burning out, made me into a liar
Made me feel like I'd been shooting shadows
Letting all that really mattered go
And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now
No I could not see as time went by
My shadow fading out
