Long Shadow

[Verse 1]
Every song with a broken heart says drive out to the coast
Damn my luck, when I show up, that's when I feel you most
So I drove up to Seattle where they say it always rains
But even on a cloudy day

[Chorus]
You cast a long shadow
Even the highway can't outrun
Somehow you're always standing
Between me and the sun
No matter how far you follow my heart
New York to California
You cast a long shadow, don't ya
You cast a long shadow, don't ya

[Verse 2]
Oh I know I can't' stay here and I know I can't go home
Baby I gotta cross an ocean to finally shake your ghost
I fly faster than your memory to the ends of the earth
'Cause hometown goodbyes are a world of hurt

[Chorus]
You cast a long shadow
Even the highway can't outrun
Somehow you're always standing
Between me and the sun
No matter how far you follow my heart
New York to California
You cast a long shadow, don't ya
You cast a long shadow, don't ya

[Bridge]
Dive bar smoke on a leather jacket
I can't help but hear you laughing
Dancing with me even after the end of the song
Baby that's just how you linger on

[Chorus]
You cast a long shadow
Even the highway can't outrun
Somehow you're always standing
Between me and the sun
No matter how far you follow my heart
New York to California
You cast a long shadow, don't ya
You cast a long shadow, don't ya
