Standing In The Shadow
I'm not waiting for the dust to settle
I've had enough of all the silly talk
Don't wanna fight another battle
Or wait for the other shoe to drop
No I'm not wasting all my love for nothing
Don't need a rope around my neck
I'll just toss a coin into the fountain
And keep on going, never looking back
I'm gonna pull up my collar
Go back to the way things were
Take care of business the way I prefer
No, I'm not going to stand in the shadow anymore
No I'm not going to hide behind closed doors
No I'm not playing second fiddle to some b-movie score no no
I won't be standing, standing in the shadow no more, no no
Not in the shadow no more
I'm gonna answer the call of freedom
And not let life catch up on me
I'll be marching to the beat of a different drum
And this time it's gonna set me free
I know life's just what you make it
Just make it the way you want it to be
Roll the dice or let the cards do the talking
I'm rolling on the waves of destiny
I'm gonna pull up my collar
Go back to the way things were
Take care of business the way I prefer
No, I'm not going to stand in the shadow anymore
No, I'm not going to hide behind closed doors
No, I'm not playing second fiddle to some b-movie score, no no
I won't be standing, standing in the shadow no more
No one owns any part of me
Now I'm sailing a careless sea
Thing's are what they're supposed to be
And someone in the mirror smiling back at me
All the time, all the time, yeah yeah yeah no
No, I'm not gonna stand in the shadow anymore
No I'm not going to hide behind closed doors
No I'm not playing second fiddle to some b-movie score no no
I won't be standing, won't be standing, no I won't be standing
Not in the shadow no more, no no
Not in the shadow, no
Not in the shadow no more
I've had enough of all the silly talk
Don't wanna fight another battle
Or wait for the other shoe to drop
No I'm not wasting all my love for nothing
Don't need a rope around my neck
I'll just toss a coin into the fountain
And keep on going, never looking back
I'm gonna pull up my collar
Go back to the way things were
Take care of business the way I prefer
No, I'm not going to stand in the shadow anymore
No I'm not going to hide behind closed doors
No I'm not playing second fiddle to some b-movie score no no
I won't be standing, standing in the shadow no more, no no
Not in the shadow no more
I'm gonna answer the call of freedom
And not let life catch up on me
I'll be marching to the beat of a different drum
And this time it's gonna set me free
I know life's just what you make it
Just make it the way you want it to be
Roll the dice or let the cards do the talking
I'm rolling on the waves of destiny
I'm gonna pull up my collar
Go back to the way things were
Take care of business the way I prefer
No, I'm not going to stand in the shadow anymore
No, I'm not going to hide behind closed doors
No, I'm not playing second fiddle to some b-movie score, no no
I won't be standing, standing in the shadow no more
No one owns any part of me
Now I'm sailing a careless sea
Thing's are what they're supposed to be
And someone in the mirror smiling back at me
All the time, all the time, yeah yeah yeah no
No, I'm not gonna stand in the shadow anymore
No I'm not going to hide behind closed doors
No I'm not playing second fiddle to some b-movie score no no
I won't be standing, won't be standing, no I won't be standing
Not in the shadow no more, no no
Not in the shadow, no
Not in the shadow no more
