lyrics
I can see us in the setting sun
The sidewalks here go on and on
And now I walk them all alone
Looking for I don't know
Every pool of light I stumble through
Makes my insides burn with deja vu
But no streetlight shines bright as you
I'm stepping on my shadow.
We walked until this place was home
The sidewalks here go on and on
We'd float above them hand in hand and
Ignore the world below
But all I touch comes crashing down
Now I miss you as much as I hate this town
But I stop my feet from touching ground
By stepping on my shadow.
Where are you? Where are you tonight?
Where are you tonight?
Every car that passes sighs this song
And the sidewalks here go on and on
I could walk till I forget the words
But the melody will never go
I'm midnight cold and asphalt black
I'm empty as a sidewalk crack
And I keep you always at my back
I'm stepping on my shadow.
The sidewalks here go on and on
And now I walk them all alone
Looking for I don't know
Every pool of light I stumble through
Makes my insides burn with deja vu
But no streetlight shines bright as you
I'm stepping on my shadow.
We walked until this place was home
The sidewalks here go on and on
We'd float above them hand in hand and
Ignore the world below
But all I touch comes crashing down
Now I miss you as much as I hate this town
But I stop my feet from touching ground
By stepping on my shadow.
Where are you? Where are you tonight?
Where are you tonight?
Every car that passes sighs this song
And the sidewalks here go on and on
I could walk till I forget the words
But the melody will never go
I'm midnight cold and asphalt black
I'm empty as a sidewalk crack
And I keep you always at my back
I'm stepping on my shadow.
