[Intro - Fast hi-hats, pulsing bass, clipped guitar] I heard it on the radio I saw it on the screen They told me who to watch for They told me what it means [Verse 1] Every stranger had a reason Every shadow had a name I carried all that warning Like I had something to blame Then I walked into the daylight And the street looked just the same All the danger I'd been promised Never came [Pre-Chorus] And I think I've had enough Of being told what I should fear If I stop and really look Maybe there's nothing here [Chorus] Nothing to fear Nothing to fear I've been running from a shadow That was never really here Nothing to fear Nothing to fear Maybe all this noise Was drowning out the people near me [Verse 2] I saw a face beside me Not a number, not a threat Just somebody going somewhere With a life I hadn't met And the city kept on moving Like it always had before So I stopped looking for the enemy And started looking for the door [Instrumental Break - Angular guitar riff / driving bass / rapid hi-hats] [Bridge] Turn it down Turn it down Can you hear the city now? Turn it down Turn it down We're still here We're still here [Final Chorus] Nothing to fear Nothing to fear I've been running from a shadow That was never really here Nothing to fear Nothing to fear Maybe I was building walls To keep myself in here [Outro] I heard it on the radio I watched it disappear For the first time in a long time I have nothing to fear
