Shadow Dances Lyrics by Opia

2016

[Verse 1]
You’re the one from west LA, loves the summer days
Driving down the 101 I feel it
You’re the one to run away, blame the summer fame
Far from home but fighting to conceal it

[Verse 2]
Didn’t know you had it then, love was lost but never dead
But you could never drop it, never fake it
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard to say
You hardly left this place
Something from the better days it lingers

[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me how we lost ourselves wishing we were somewhere else
The more I'm choosing part of me, the less I'm living honestly
So honestly

[Chorus]
I’ll take my chances
I'm done with the questions
I’ll just make my answers
The sun can’t help but shine his shadow dances
With or without your steps
I’ll take my chances, shadow dances

[Verse 3]
Another kid from west LA
Tried to run away
Broken down but fighting time to heal it
Waiting for your plane to land, back to where it all began
Maybe all the colors will have faded

[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me how we lost ourselves wishing we were somewhere else
The more I'm choosing part of me, the less I'm living honestly
So honestly

[Chorus]
I’ll take my chances
Done with questions
I’ll just make my answers
The sun can’t help but shine his shadow dances
With or without your steps
I’ll take my chances, shadow dances
Shadow dances
Shadow dances
Shadow dances
