Chasing Shadows

Walking down the highway, shadows in the sun

Could’ve been forever, now for you it's none

See you in the distance, trying to catch my eye

Acting like you don’t see me, but I know you lie

One night — a story, we can't undo

You keep on chasing, what am I supposed to do?

I’ve turned away, I’ve said no a thousand times

But you keep on running, crossing all the lines

Why are you so persistent? Don’t you understand?

Getting tired, baby, please let go of your hand

Every day I walk past your face

You keep on trying to chase the space

That you left, that I can’t replace

Can't believe you’re still in this race

Rejection’s never easy, I’ve been clear and loud

But your obsession’s heavy, it’s got me feeling bowed

I rejected with a reason, don’t forget my name

Stop running after shadows, it’s just a reckless game

I’ve turned away, I’ve said no a thousand times

But you keep on running, crossing all the lines

Why are you so persistent? Don’t you understand?

Getting tired, baby, please let go of your hand

Every day I walk past your face

You keep on trying to chase the space

That you left, that I can’t replace

Can't believe you’re still in this race

Is it love or just obsession? I can't tell

Your chase is burning, breaking every spell

I wish I could forget, leave it all behind

But your shadow’s haunting my mind

So I keep walking, pretending I don’t see

Hoping someday you’ll set this feeling free

But for now, I’m walking down the highway

Hoping you’ll stop chasing, some distant day
