[Intro]
[muffled beat fading in]
(hmm-mmm)
(hmm, hmm)
Walking with my shadow
Right behind me (yeah)
[Verse 1]
He:
Late night, long road
Trash can rolling, hoodie low
Talking to the outline on the asphalt
Like, “You stayed when everyone let go”
She:
Street sign flicker on my face
Your shape tangled up with mine
Two silhouettes in the same small space
But you keep stepping out of line (hey)
[Chorus]
With my shadow
When the whole world turns around and goes
You still follow
Through the high, through the hollow lows
Side by side, even when I’m shallow
I’m dancing, I’m running
With my shadow
(hmm-mmm, hmm)
[Verse 2]
He:
Who knows me better than the dark twin
Saw every bad call, every sharp spin
Every “I’m fine” I said, you laughed thin
Stayed stuck to my back when the light thinned
She:
I don’t ask why you break again
I just lean where the shape begins
Put my hand on the wall, trace your outline
Turn your cracks into quiet hymns (ooh)
[Chorus]
With my shadow
When the whole world turns around and goes
You still follow
Through the high, through the hollow lows
Side by side, even when I’m shallow
I’m dancing, I’m running
With my shadow
(hmm-mmm, hmm-yeah)
[Bridge]
He:
Talk to the dark like it’s you on the line
Argue with myself, then we both align
Every flaw you copy, every fear you show
Makes me feel less alone on the way home
She:
If you fade in the morning
I’ll wait till the evening light
’Cause I know you’ll be crawling
Back under my feet by night (by night)
[Chorus]
With my shadow
When the noise gets cruel and cold
You still follow
Never ask for silver or gold
Side by side, even when I’m shallow
I’m broken, I’m glowing
With my shadow
[Outro]
[humming over stripped-back beat]
(hmm-mmm)
(hmm, hmm-mm)
Walk with my shadow
Till the light lets go
