Shadows

We were born beneath the same [?] in the sky
And I left California
Far behind
Cause in a dream I grew old in your eyes
And I've been tryna find you all this time

I am a foreigner longing for a home that's mine
But I don't speak the language
And I can't read the signs
No I can't read the signs

Take this cold heart till it beats again
And I will love you like a howling wind
Start this fire, watch the embers fall
We're just shadows dancing on the wall
Dancing on the wall, dancing on the wall

We were born with the same crooked smile
And nothing held us down, we just passed the time
Till we could throw ourselves open to the tide
And you put on your makeup and I combed my hair
I was so sure that some day soon I'll make you mine
But I keep getting older so much older
I keep getting older and I can't read the signs

Take this cold heart till it beats again
And I will love you like a howling wind
Start this fire, watch the embers fall
We're just shadows dancing on the wall
Dancing on the wall, dancing on the wall

Take this cold heart till it beats again
And I will love you like a howling wind
Start this fire, watch the embers fall
We're just shadows dancing on the wall
Dancing on the wall, dancing on the wall
