Lyrics

Shadow

[Verse 1]

Woke up to the music of your heart

Saying aaaaah, aaaaah

Caught up in the wishing that it lasts

Saying aaaaah, aaaaah

[Pre-Chorus]

Only you ever make me scared

'Cause only you can take me there

[Chorus]

So wherever you go

I'm your shadow

Desert to ice floe

I will follow

Wherever you go

I'm your shadow

I'm your shadow

[Post-Chorus]

Ah, la la la, la la la la

Ah, la la la, la la la

[Verse 2]

There beneath your body when it wakes

Saying aaaaah, aaaaah

Hiding under every step you take

Saying aaaaah, aaaaah

[Pre-Chorus]

Only you ever make me care

'Cause only you ever made me dare

[Chorus]

So wherever you go

I'm your shadow

Desert to ice floe

I will follow

Wherever you go

I'm your shadow

I'm your shadow

I'm your shadow

[Bridge]

I know, I know, I know

Everywhere you move

You stay, you go, you change

I am bound to you

[Chorus]

So wherever you go

I'm your shadow

Desert to ice floe

I will follow

Wherever you go

I'm your shadow

So wherever you go

I'm your shadow

Desert to ice floe

I will follow

Wherever you go

I'm your shadow

I'm your shadow
