Lyrics
Inventing Shadows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not surprising it could end like this
Your eyes are open even when you kiss
You're so distant
So cold, so resistant
You see the world in only gray and black
Now how could anybody live like that without screamin'
Without dyin' for dreamin'
And you stare at the window
With the passing cars
And you look at the sky
Think you're unlucky stars
No you're never quite happy right where you are
So you keep on, inventing shadows
Where there are none, no there are none
Yeah, you keep on, inventing shadows
Where there are none
You don't even see the sun, can you see the sun
It can't be shocking that I want to leave
The way you're livin' like you're half asleep
It's just dreamin'
If I go who could blame me
And you stare at the window at the passing cars
And you look at the sky think you're unlucky stars
No you're never quite happy right where you are
Right where you are, with all that you are
So you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none, no there are none
Yeah you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none
You don't even see the sun, can you see the sun
You are so young so beautiful
So flawless in my eyes
Don't you know the world shines
Every time you smile
Why can't you just smile
So you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none, no there are none
Yeah you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none
You don't even see the sun, can you see the sun
It's in the light
It's in the world i see
How I wish that I could still believe
Time to save me
If I go who could blame me
