Shadowboxing

Shadowboxing with the night

It’s been falling down like thunder

Holding on up a steady line

Thinking I could make it mine

But I lost it somehow

Drinking in the morning light

Chasing down an empty feeling

Don’t know what it’s supposed to mean

Think I found it in a dream

But I lost it somehow

Busy living on the outside

Don’t tell me white lies

It’s been at high tide now

For a year

Burning embers that ignite

Shouldn’t be an invitation

Keeping secrets from the night

Knowing wrongs don’t make it right

But you’re calling on vows

Busy living on the outside

Don’t tell me white lies

It’s been at high tide now

For a year

But when all is said and done

We learn the heard way

How to become

It’s not much

But it’s enough

A head full of dreams

And a heart full of love

Busy living on the outside

Don’t tell me white lies

It’s been at high tide now

For a year

Busy living on the outside

Don’t tell me white lies

It’s been at high tide now

For a year
