Lyrics

Playing in the Shadows

I got someone waiting at home for me, staring at the door
And I don't wanna stay in the zone til 3, all those calls ignored
Tomorrow she'll probably disown me, happy no more
Keep falling into shadow
Im playing in the shadows all night long
So good to play with bad girls, I'm still young
They keep on saying hello, I know what they want
You'll find me in the shadow.

She's always ringing my phone you see, laying down the law
Keep trying to speak to her honestly, so she knows the score
Maybe one day I'll be lonely, knocking down the door
Keep falling into shadows
Im playing in the shadows all night long
So good to play with bad girls, I'm still young
They keep on saying hello, I know what they want
You'll find me in the shadow.
You'll find me in the shadow.

There's someone waiting at home for me, staring at the door.
And I don't wanna stay in the zone til 3, all those calls ignored

Tomorrow she'll probably disown me, happy no more
Keep falling into shadow

Playing in the shadows (x4)
People call it shallow
Tell me something I don't know (x3)

Playing in the shadows, people call it shallow
Tell me something I don't know

Maybe one day I'll be lonely, knocking down the door
Keep falling into shadows
Im playing in the shadows all night long
So good to play with bad girls, I'm still young
They keep on saying hello, I know what they want
You'll find me in the shadow
You'll find me, find me, find me
You'll find me in the shadow
You'll find me, find me, find me
You'll find me in the shadow

You'll find me in the shadow
