I have shadow shyness He doesn't want to be seen He may seem a little quiet, but I think he gets it from me Since they put him in that drawer He hasn't been the same And if the soap don't stick, put in another stitch The soap don't stick, put in another stitch Heart's gonna rip He's an ordinary shadow 'Who're you calling ordinary?' They say I can live forever, but I don't think forever's for me It's like they all keep getting older and I just stay the same Heart's gonna rip, put in another stitch Love's too big, put in another stitch It's all gonna break Oh mother, I fell from the perambulator Didn't get to say 'see you later' Heart's gonna rip, love's too big It's all gonna break I don't want to grow up But then, you never do get what you want Are you joking? Just take a look around you And look behind you Who's been there the whole time? Who's been there the whole time? Yeah I have shadow shyness He doesn't want to follow me
