Shadows

[Verse 1]
We’re not that young, but we are alive
Friends that we buried, too young to die
Put in the grave, blessed by the church
All of their pain, all of their hurt
Men on alters preach spirit of giving
Then follow it with words that would guilt you for living
A woman who fucks is nothing but a whore
As another dead body washes up on the shore

[Pre-Chorus]
Another drink, another song, another feeling
An emotion that you never let on
And now you’re reeling, all this time you were so blind
Look at all your friends and find that

[Chorus]
We’re all shadows of what we could have been
We all have photos of a place we’ll never be
We’re all dreamers who sleep outlast our dreams
We’re half of who we wanted to be

[Verse 2]
You and I, my friend, act like we are removed
But we both lost count of when the drink has been used
To smother the shakes and quell down the fears
Another one down just to hold back the tears
Everyone has sadness it’s just who we are
But everyone had hope, a light in the dark
The light has gone out, the chances have past
The ghosts of old friends breathe their breath on the glass

[Pre-Chorus]
Another drink, another song, another feeling
An emotion that you never let on
And now you’re reeling, all this time you were so blind
Look at all your friends and find that

[Chorus]
We’re all shadows of what we could have been
We all have photos of a place we’ll never be
We’re all dreamers who sleep outlast our dreams
We’re half of who we wanted to be

[Outro]
(We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
We’re all shadows of what we could have been (We all need somebody)
We all have photos of a place we’ll never be (We all need somebody)
We’re all dreamers who sleep outlast our dreams (We all need somebody)
We’re half of who we wanted to be (We all need somebody)
We’re all shadows of what we could have been (We all need somebody)
We all have photos of a place we’ll never be (We all need somebody)
We’re all dreamers who sleep outlast our dreams (We all need somebody)
We’re half of who we wanted to be (We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
(We all need somebody)
