Lyrics

Dancing Shadows

[Intro] Ooh, I won't pace ya Ooh, I wanna taste ya Ooh, yeah, eh [Verse 1] If I could stop these visions If I could erase your reflection I would take those nights and set them free If I could just remind you Show you what my hands can do Let them become what words are meant to be, oh [Pre-Chorus] I know what you need from me Let me be your mirror, baby In the dark, I'm the one you see [Chorus] I'm on the walls like dancing shadows We both could be wrong, oh, such a beautiful soul Let's just play along, oh, dancing shadows If we leave it wouldn't be right, this time No, it wouldn't be, not right, you're gonna see I know this can't be wrong, dancing shadows Let's just play along, all over me Perfect symphony, dancing shadows You can just, you can just, you can just, you can just We can turn the lights off, baby But I love your shadow [Verse 2] You speak words like the Bible In front of me, what you're heading to Why can't we live this truth and set us free? Oh [Pre-Chorus] I know what you need from me Let me be your mirror, baby In the dark, I'm the one you see [Chorus] I'm on the walls like dancing shadows We both could be wrong, oh, such a beautiful soul Let's just play along, oh, dancing shadows If we leave it wouldn't be right, this time Oh, you might, oh, you're gonna see I know this can't be wrong, dancing shadows Let's just play along, oh You can just, you can just, you can just, you can just We can turn the lights off, baby But I love your shadow, baby [Outro] Ooh, yeah (Dancing shadows)
