[00:00.597]And her shadow still follows after me
[00:04.354]Even when I try to go to sleep
[00:08.435]And it floats above and dives into my dreams
[00:12.325]Finding lost and deeply buried things
[00:16.300]You wanted to unravel
[00:20.165]And her shadow is projected up across the bedroom wall
[00:24.033]When I wake up and feel my dreams dissolve
[00:27.994]And it dances there until I look away
[00:31.869]To the pillow where there's a sleeping face
[00:35.906]You wanted to unravel
[00:39.996]You wanted to escape
[00:43.841]And here is a birthday
[00:47.745]An anniversary
[00:51.761]The notes you wrote
[00:59.653]And here are the empty rings
[01:03.529]The records of the songs you sing
[01:07.417]The clothes you left are hanging in the closet
[01:19.121]And her shadow runs out in front of me
[01:23.041]And waits until I cross the street
[01:26.965]And it takes me to all the places that we met
[01:30.952]To the house and our apartment
[01:34.888]You're trying to forget
[01:38.849]And so I go out to find the darkest room
[01:42.969]Til I become a shadow too
[01:46.805]And weightless and shameless I go to visit her
[01:50.617]Arrive there cold and self-assured
[01:54.626]You wanted their affection
[01:58.544]You wanted it to end
[02:02.644]You wanted
[02:10.363]You wanted their attention
[02:14.319]You wanted it to end
[02:18.208]And this was a wedding gift
[02:22.311]The photos that thought you hid
[02:26.357]The poems I wrote
[02:33.965]And here are the friends you lost
[02:37.965]The glances on the old sidewalk
[02:41.780]The questions that come
[02:49.759]And here's the last place we kissed
[02:53.727]The papers that he helped you print
[02:57.615]My number on your screen
[03:05.399]But we're not trying to speak
