Waiting in Your Shadow

Light shines in your room, the shadows fall against the wall So many reasons why we'd want them out Smoking in your underwear, you motion down the hall Knowing I would come whenever called I'm waiting in your shadow When there's nothing there for me Telling myself stories in your silence That may be But they're nothing Only teenage memories Leaving all your lights on, I can see it from the street He's just like me, but skinnier and young Crying in my father's care, I want to, have to know But show me, just one time when I knew anything I'd done I'm waiting in your shadow When there's nothing there for me Telling myself stories in your silence That may be But they're nothing Only teenage memories Why would I decide to strap a pipe bomb to my soul Is there something I should know It isn't a love song, and isn't the truth But it won't meet any questions, or need proof I'm waiting in your shadow When there's nothing there for me Telling myself stories in your silence That may be But they're nothing Only teenage memories
