Shadow

I came up to the surface
I needed some air
I was drowning in the yearning for someone to be there
Voices sing, "That's just life..."
And maybe I'm stuck in my mind

But my moments are private
In the middle of a crowd
No gold and no violet
No soul to be found
Just dreaming in silence all day
I'm so useless when you go away

So don't leave me alone
I know
That you've got so many places to be
But let's just go back to sleep
Back to sleep

Under the plane wings
Watching you fly away from me
You're free as the wind up in the sky
And I can't be alone
And I've never ever felt this way
Can't wait to get to the end of my day
Get it over with
That feeling sits like tar

I know I'm a shadow
I know
That you've got so many places to be
But let's just go back to sleep
Back to sleep
