[Verse 1] I leave the door cracked wide But nobody steps inside My shoes on the floor by the bed And your old coat on the chair I trace the shape you made On the wall, on the painted gray Even the quiet knows your name When the whole room folds the same [Pre-Chorus] I try to outrun the dark But it follows close I carry what you left Like a hand around my throat [Chorus] My shadows, my shadows They know where I go My shadows, my shadows Won't let me let go You live in the edges You live in the glow My shadows, my shadows Follow me home [Verse 2] The kettle clicks, then fades Cold tea on the chipped up tray Your toothbrush still leans left Like it's waiting for your breath I laugh at the smallest thing Then it breaks right in front of me A photograph in my palm Burning softer than a song [Pre-Chorus] I try to outrun the dark But it follows close I carry what you left Like a hand around my throat [Chorus] My shadows, my shadows They know where I go My shadows, my shadows Won't let me let go You live in the edges You live in the glow My shadows, my shadows Follow me home [Bridge] If I speak your name out loud Does it cut me loose? Or does it pull you back From the silence you moved to? I don't need the full truth Just a little sign Something in the hallway That still knows you're mine [Final Chorus] My shadows, my shadows They know where I go My shadows, my shadows Won't let me let go You live in the edges You live in the glow My shadows, my shadows Follow me home My shadows, my shadows Stay till I say so My shadows, my shadows I won't let them go
