Lyrics
Lyrics
********
These cold nights keep getting longer,
This empty space inside my bed.
And these feelings keep growing stronger,
You know I try to forget, but all I see instead,
Is just those...
(Chorus)
Shadows dancing, shadows dancing, oh...
Dancing, dancing on the wall.
Shadows dancing, like we used to, oh...
Memories, that's all....
That keep running 'round in circles,
Ain't it funny how thoughts can be,
I try to ignore them
But they come back to haunt me, I just can't break free...
So I fumble for the light switch
Oh it wasn't that long ago
That we kissed in these hallways
And now I scream out loud, "oh no, no, no!"
And it's just those...
(Chorus)
Shadows dancing, shadows dancing, oh...
Dancing, dancing in the hall.
Shadows dancing, like we used to, oh...
Memories, that's all....
(Bridge)
I'm hoping you'll change your mind and come back home
'Cause I can't take anymore, this living all alone
You know, these hearts ain't made of stone...
Footsteps in the hallway
Echo through this heart of mine.
They keep on getting closer
I turn and look, and look just one more time
To see those...
(Chorus)
