The birds in the trees, they don't sing no more

These autumn leaves are lying dead on the floor

Just like like this love, we gon' let it evolve, oh yeah

Ain't nothing left but a picture frame

You've forgotten my face so don't speak my name

Don't water it down, it's going up in flames

Yeah, you got me running down the wrong road

Yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows

'Cause the love that I seek and what you're giving to me

I want a love that runs deep, want it as deep as the sea

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

Try to run but I always return to your ghost

I keep clinging to everything I had once known

But love don't live here anymore

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

I had the key to your heart, you changed the lock on the door

Won't even bother to knock, I know that nobody's home

You're not the person that I knew before

Like the bones of our love, it's buried deep in the ground

Like the wings of a dove, you can't be holding us down

Let it go, let it go, yeah, forget all the vows

Yeah, you got me running down the wrong road

Yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows

'Cause the love that I seek and what you're giving to me

I want a love that runs deep, want it as deep as the sea

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

Try to run but I always return to your ghost

I keep clinging to everything I had once known

But love don't live here anymore

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

Time is running, let the water come in from the sea

Wasting time over someone who's not meant to be

Let it go, let it go, go and set yourself free, free, free

Yeah, you got me running down the wrong road

Yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows (Swimming in the shallows)

'Cause the love that I seek and what you're giving to me

I want a love that runs deep, want it as deep as the sea

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

(On to your shadow, on to your shadow)

Try to run but I always return to your ghost

I keep clinging to everything I had once known

But love don't live here anymore

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

(Your shadow, shadow, shadow, oh)

I just keep holding on to your shadow
