Boy in the Shadow Lyrics by Sophia Petro

The 11th Hour

2023

[Verse 1]
I only know you by your face
I only know you by your smile
And as I’m sitting here I wait
And hope that you’ll pass me by
People are always too busy in their own lives
They never stop for a moment and ask
Why, why, why
Do I cling to the memory
Of your eyes
As they flickered past mine?
[Chorus]
Can never say it when you look away
There’s a lump in my throat standing in the way
All you should you know
Is to come out, come out
You’re the boy in the shadow
[Post-Chorus]
Won’t you come out, come out?
You’re the boy in the shadow
[Verse 2]
Loose curls, baggy top, here’s my chancе
Hey, I saw you look over with a glance
With a half smilе, mischief in your eyes
Should I run or my instincts I defy?
I was always too busy in my own life
Then I saw you and it made me wonder
Why, why, why
Won’t you come out, come out?
You’re the boy in the shadow
[Chorus]
Won’t you come out, come out?
You’re the boy in the shadow
Won’t you come out, come out?
You’re the boy in the shadow
[Bridge]
Come out, come out
You’re the boy in the shadow
Come out, come out
You’re the boy in the shadow
Come out, come out
You’re the boy in the shadow
Come out, come out
You’re the boy in the shadow
Come out, come out
You’re the boy in the shadow
Come out, come out
You’re the boy in the shadow
And I can’t see your face in the darkness
And I’m wondering where the light is
You make me need you then in seconds you go
And now I’ve thrown my heart to the shadow
[Chorus]
Why, why, why
Do I cling to the memory
Of your eyes
As they flickered past mine?
Can never say it when you look away
There’s a lump in my throat standing in the way
Stop putting on your show
Come out, come out
You’re the boy in the shadow
