To Be My Shadow

from Several Dozen Hundred (EP) by Emperor Plum

/

lyrics

In my dreams I’m all I dreamed I could be
When they end I realize it’s not me

Just some shadow with my shape and voice
Someone who’s never made the noise

People make when they have never been
That burning feeling in someone’s chest

Want to be the face someone will miss
When their eyes go dim and their memory
slips

Oh, to be my shadow
To feel what I fear I’ll never know
Oh, watch that burning feeling grow
How lovely it is to live in the shade

In my dreams you’re all I dreamed you would be
The harmony to my melody

Where I am the parts glowing inside
The parts that make you feel so alive

Like mine, your shadow’s not much like you
Its crimson blood is made out of love

It’s not afraid of what could be
It moves its lips the way that I dreamed

Oh, to be our shadows
To feel what we know we’ll never know
Oh, watch that burning feeling grow
We’re only meant to be in the shade
