It seems this song is all about going deeper into a relationship. From a surface-level knowledge of someone to a heart-level knowledge of someone.
[Verse 1]
Midnight moon, caught in a rush
Now there's you and there's us
Toe the line, hope it's enough to stay alive
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we just keep on swimming in the shallows
Running ‘round in circles
Before we dive right in
[Chorus]
I know we've been dancing in the light
But there's a darker side
Thinking that before we get too close
Baby you should meet my shadow
Voices in my head
Words I've never said
There's some things about me you should know
And baby you should meet my shadow
[Verse 2]
You and me need to drive down Maple street
'Cause this town made my ghosts, married my past
And when we get home I swear I'll set these
Paper walls on fire
Walk out on the wire
Show you who I've been
Before this moment
[Chorus]
Dancing in the light
But there's a darker side
Thinking that before we get too close
Baby you should meet my shadow
Voices in my head
Words I've never said
There's some things about me you should know
Baby you should meet my shadow
Oh oh ooh
Ooh
Oh oh ooh
Baby you should meet my shadow
[Pre-Chorus]
No more swimming in the shadows
Running around in circles
I wanna let you in
[Chorus]
‘Cause we’ve been dancing in the light
But there's a darker side
Thinking that before we get too close
Baby you should meet my shadow
Voices in my head
Words I've never said
There's some things about me you should know
And baby you should meet my shadow
Oh oh ooh
Ooh
Oh oh ooh
Baby you should meet my shadow
