Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Old Town behind us
I used to fly
Pour yourself a drink
That's when I slide
Always looking for another way out
Never just at ease
When everybody settles down to revel
That's when I have to leave
[PreChorus]
Staring down forever
Feels like more than I can take
[Chorus]
This is all I am
Here in Everdene
All I ever wanted was a reason to believe
But I've been holding on to everything
As tightly as I can
Oh, my God, I'm just a shadow of a man
And it's more than I can hold
[Verse 2]
I watch as they sit still
With my green eyes
All that I wish that I could be
Makes me a liar
I'm moving like a snake among the weeds
Why am I sly?
I will never know what it means for you and I
[PreChorus]
Staring down forever
Feels like more than I can take
[Chorus]
This is all I am
Here in Everdene
All I ever wanted was a reason to believe
But I've been holding on to everything
As tightly as I can
Oh, my God, I'm just a shadow of a man
[Bridge]
'Cause I've stared over the edge
And I've seen where it leads
God, what I would give if I could only feel at ease
And I'm holding on too tight
Take this cup out of my hands
Oh, my God, I'm just a shadow of a man
And it's more than I can hold
More than I can hold
[Outro]
When it's quiet, when it's still
Go easy, if you can
Sometimes I thank God I'm just a shadow of a man
'Cause I've seen over the edge
There's reason to believe
I feel it pull too tight
Wrap its arms around me
