Shadow Beat

So youth's the time to be lighthearted
Look up at me and don't be startled
By what you see
I spent some time feeling so lonely
I was sure that was the only
Way I could feel

But now you're here and I am finding
Little things have me smiling
When I'm with you

I won't say it's easy to be
The kind of boy I think you need
Life is shorter than you think
So I hope you'll spend some time with me

That you chose me was a surprise
But either way it feels nice
To hold your hand
I won't believe every word you say
But I’ll listen close in my own way
Just for you

I'm older now than I was those days
The past like a shadow slips away
But I won't forget

I won't say it's easy to be
The kind of boy I think you need
Life is shorter than you think
So I hope you'll spend some time with me
