Shadow Days
WILCAE
The city slept beneath the blue light
Your words still hanging in the air
No broken reason, no clear warning
Just silence standing everywhere
I drove away before the sunrise
No destination on my mind
Only the sound of distant headlights
And everything we left behind
Every mile
Every dawn
Couldn't tell me where I belong
Don't you know these shadow days
Turn good hearts into runaways?
Don't you know these miles apart
Still keep running through my heart?
And the night keeps asking why
Some things never really die
I kept chasing the setting Sun
Trying to become someone
The daylight faded into colors
Gold and crimson over steel
I watched the horizon growing older
Trying not to feel what I feel
Another room
Another ceiling
Another night without a name
But every road that led me forward
Somehow led me back again
Every dream
Every sign
Left another trace behind
Don't you know these shadow days
Turn good hearts into runaways?
Don't you know these miles apart
Still keep running through my heart?
And the night keeps asking why
Some things never really die
I kept chasing the setting Sun
Trying to become someone
A voice came through the darkness
Crying my name
The words I thought I'd never hear
I'm sorry
One tear
One breath
One long silence
Don't you know these shadow days
Were never meant to make us break?
Don't you know these miles apart
Only showed me where you are?
I've been chasing every Sun
Looking for what I'd become
Now the night is fading slow
And I finally know
I look down
The keys are in my hand
The first light
Touches the horizon
