Shade

(앨범: Saudade - 2015)

I remember the day you discovered your shadow
You were in the back garden by the apple tree

What's your favorite color
What songs do you like
What makes you angry
And what makes you cry

You know that I mean well
But I missed your call and I forgot to return it
You gave me your love
Even though I've not earned it
Because you're good to me and I deserve to see
How it makes you feel when I always leave
I hope that you miss me
There will be time someday

Apologize, I'll compromise, avoid my eyes
I'd rather go back into your shade
But I'll miss your progress
From the mess that I made

Tell mom I'm alright
And tell dad I'm okay
Did you get the last card
I sent on your birthday?
I wish that we were closer
I wish that you had known me
When I was younger
And understood the choices that I've made

You know that I mean well
But I missed your call and I forgot to return it
You gave me your love
Even though I've not earned it
Because you're good to me and I deserve to see
How it makes you feel when I always leave
I hope that you miss me
There will be time someday
We'll watch the sun creep over
The neighbour's fence and take me to the garden
All those apples still sway
