Shadows

[Verse 1]
Walking home and it is cold December
Wind makes your hair silly
And my eyes tear up
I'm on tiptoes
You are so tall
Taller than my bedroom
Up the stairs and we have to keep quiet
Little brother's sleeping
And I bend down to kiss his cheek
And I see your shadow
Shadow in the doorway
And my shadow at the bed

[Pre-Chorus]
Our shadows are husband and wife
And they kiss in the middle of the night
And once we step back into the light

[Chorus]
There is a sea between us
And we eat ice cream
And we don't say a word
We don't say a word to anyone

[Verse 2]
Living room and this is where the night ends
There's a silence and you're uncomfortable
You stand up and I start to shiver
Shivering at midnight
We're alone and we are in the moonlight
It appears just perfect
But we don't take note
No we don't wait
Stand at an arms length
Honey colored porch lights
And you don't take my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
But somewhere our shadows are sleeping
Tucked up in a marital bed
But we stand apart
Waiting for the second hand to change

[Chorus]
There is a sea between us
And we eat ice cream
And we don't say a word
We don't say a word to anyone

[Bridge]
Who knows when we'll figure out
Who knows when we find out what we're talking about
Cause we don't have money
And we don't have a car
Credit history is just subpar
No one knows exactly who we are
No one in the back knows
In back knows

[Chorus]
There is a sea between us
And we eat ice cream
And we don't say a word
We don't say a word
Cause we're afraid that it won't be heard
We don't say a word
Cause we're afraid that it won't be heard

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
