Looking in the 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.
You cross the street thinking
This way, or that way?
You chose the third
Your heart silently bleeding
You said,
I'll open the door
You said,
I'll break the window
You said,
I'll look at you
You cross the street, thinking
Looking in the shadows
You chose to see
Your heart silently bleeding
You thought,
I'll open the door
You thought,
I'll break the window
You thought,
I'll look at you
Look at the shadows
(Look at the shadows)
Stare at the shadows
(Stare at the shadows)
Look at the shadows
(Look at the shadows)
Stare at the shadows
(Stare at the shadows)
You left the street thinking
You'd listen to a record
A song about pleasure
Your heart silently bleeding
You decided
I'll shut the door
You decided
I'll close the window
You decided
I'll learn and listen
And maybe I'll call you
Call you tomorrow
Maybe I'll call you
Call you tomorrow
