All of the time I spent just chasing the shadows Brought me to here where I can swim in the shallows In my defense, I always needed the battle Fighting the fear, I'll put my mind in the gallows See it in my mind's eye Funny how the times been flying High up in the moonlight Looking down where I've been trying But all of my mistakes bring me down to earth Run it back again, hoping this'll work now All of the time I spent just chasing the shadows Brought me to here where I can swim in the shallows In my defense, I always needed a battle Fighting the fear, I'll put my mind in the gallows Hold on, hold on Know you been right here so long Hold strong, hold strong Though the tide pulls you along, oh-oh Far gone, far gone But it won't be this way forever If we just stick it together now But all of my mistakes bring me down to earth Run it back again, hoping this'll work now All of the time I spent just chasing the shadows Brought me to here where I can swim in the shallows In my defense, I always needed the battle Fighting the fear, I'll put my mind in the gallows
