[Chorus]
If you wanna leave, then just go
'Cause I can't get no sun in your shadow
If you ain't gonna love me; fight me
Then I'm gonna turn the other cheek and go
Go, go
[Verse 1]
'Cause I've been hanging on the telephone
Lines that you always told me
Now I can't let go
I've been living off the last time
You warm me with your words
But now I'm tired and I'm getting cold
Cold, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
If you wanna leave, then just go
'Cause I can't get no sun in your shadow
If you ain't gonna love me; fight me
Then I'm gonna turn the other cheek and go
Go, go
[Bridge]
Turn the other cheek and go, go, go
[Verse 2]
'Cause every time I push
You hold me just close enough to keep me here
So pull your anchor up and head to shore or sail away, oh
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
Then just go
'Cause I've been hanging on the telephone
Lines that you always told me
Now I can't let go
I've been living off the last time
You told me you would try
But boy, this is getting old
So old
[Chorus]
If you wanna leave, then just go
'Cause I can't get no sun in your shadow
If you ain't gonna love me; fight me
Then I'm gonna turn the other cheek and go
Go, go
[Outro]
Turn the other cheek and go, go, go
I'll be better off alone
Better off alone

My best friend, on this record, a song called “Shadow,” I wrote for my best friend. And other songs are about family, friends or about a person I’ve broken up with or about what I’m actually going through.
