I could spend a lifetime lookin' for something Waitin' for the one, but it's never comin' Miles and miles, but I can't stop runnin', can't stop runnin' 'Cause when I'm at my best, I just see imperfections Counting up my debts, never counting my blessings Always out of reach, but it's right there in front of me Right there in front of me, am I always gonna be Chasing my shadow Chasing my shadow Drinkin' on my back porch, dreamin' we'll get out Scuffin' up my white Vans, sneak out of your house Just a couple kids, tryna figure it all out Actin' reckless and stupid like life is a movie Okay, now let's fast-forward, stick to the program Stickers on my passport, New York to London See the Eiffel Tower through a telescope Watch a car crash, and a homeless man, he said "What do you know?" Well, what do I know? Chasing my shadow Chasing my shadow Wherever I run, wherever I go Will I ever stop wanting more? Chasing my shadow Power lines through the city And Bowery looks so pretty How far I've come, how far I've gotta go And all the irony is killin' me, it's killin me As soon as I get what I wanted before It's not what I want anymore I'm chasing my shadow Chasing my shadow (Chasin' me) Wherever I run, wherever I go Will I ever stop wanting more Chasing my shadow (My shadow) Chasing my shadow Chasing my shadow
