Chasing Shadows

friday the 13th nobody noticed
it was exactly a month to the moment
when all of the world stood still
when all of the world stood still

parked in the lot and we met at the subway
laughing cuz nobody does that in la
a handwritten map for a guide
we watched as our station went by

and we didn't see we were already wrong
connecting the dots where the lines don't belong
too late to stop we were already off
and running

chasing shadows
racing back to spite the time
tracing jagged lines
we were broken
long before we took that ride
chasing shadows, you and i

summer in downtown, sandals and sneakers
the bar had a dress code, we couldn't believe it
so we strode off into the night
under a strawberry sky

and everyone told us we looked so in love
so we kept falling down and we never came up
to the sound or the speed
of our history repeating itself

chasing shadows
racing back to spite the time
tracing jagged lines
we were broken
long before we took that ride
chasing shadows, you and i

nobody sees you when everyone's lookin
hiding in plain view
sometimes you need to forget where you came from
to fall where you belong

chasing shadows
racing back to spite the time
tracing jagged lines
we were broken
long before we took that ride
chasing shadows, you and i

friday the 13th, nobody noticed
it was exactly a month to the moment
when all of the world stood still...
