I often dream of looking at the shadows from afar, I often wonder if they’ll ever come to me.
And if they did I think I’d love to speak with them, but only if someone was with me.
I don’t know about the other ones nearby,
Are they waiting to always make me cry?
Maybe at another time we’ll learn to love them all, but I don’t know if I’ll make it that far.
I often think of going over to the shadow box, but the dark clouds above seem to shake their heads.
But if they didn’t I would maybe go afar from here, but only if someone was by my side.
I don’t know about the other ones nearby,
Are they waiting to always make me cry?
Maybe at another time we’ll learn to love them all, but I don’t know if I’ll make it that far.
What if they rock the boat?
I don’t know if I could take it.
What if I never leave?
And they will take me.
Maybe at another time we’ll learn to love them all.
