Shooting Shadows Songtext
von The Milk Carton Kids

I′ll go out walking early in the mornings
You're probably sleeping or still hungover
Quiet evenings, reading in the twilight
Of all the things that crossed my mind

We′re getting older, I hear your grandpa died
I read it in the paper, caught me by surprise
Made me think of when I lost mine
When I asked, you said that you were fine


And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now
No, I could not see as time went by
My shadow fading out

Tough as nails, I tested all the time
I make my bed and then I lie
I try to say, what's mine is mine
But it′s just another story line

I′ve tried to think, what happened to the fire?
It's burning out, made me into a lier
Made me feel like I′d been shooting shadows
Letting all that really mattered go


And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now
No, I could not see as time went by
My shadow fading out
