i'm breaking
i'm cracking
i'm running away
running into the shadows
only to meet another version on myself
'close your eyes and run with me
fly with me
dance and be free'
it says
and i do
and there you are
just another version of myself
he walks through the night
in his long black coat
he walks a little faster
but the shadow's always there
'what're we doing here'
i say
but all he wants to know
is who felt desperation first
your smile's gone
i guess its time to say goodbye
so close your eyes
and turn around
in an instant i'll be gone
just another shadow in the night
chasing dreams and butterflies
with that man in the black trenchcoat
and you know one night
i'll try to hide
in deep among the shadows
to find another version of myself
and then there'll be you
