[Verse 1]
He's the sun and I’m the shade
A spotlight thief in every parade
Crowds roar loud when he walks in
I’m the echo
He's the din
[Prechorus]
They call his name
It drowns my own
His throne of gold
My chair of stone
[Chorus]
In the shadow of his light
I’m fading into night
No one sees me standing here
But I’m screaming
Loud and clear
In the shadow of his light
[Verse 2]
His laughter's fire
My voice is smoke
Every joke he tells
My punchlines choke
He's the hero
I’m the scene
Cut from the script
Left in between
[Prechorus]
Their eyes on him
I disappear
But I’ve got a spark
It’s crystal clear
[Chorus]
In the shadow of his light
I’m fading into night
No one sees me standing here
But I’m screaming
Loud and clear
In the shadow of his light
