Lyrics: Old Town behind us, I used to fly Pour yourself a drink That’s when I slide Always looking for another way out Never just at ease When everybody settles down to revel That’s when I have to leave Staring down forever Feels like more than I can take This is all I am Here in Everdene All I ever wanted was a reason to believe But I’ve been holding on to everything As tightly as I can Oh my god I’m just a shadow of a man And it’s more than I can hold I watch as they sit still With my green eyes All that I wish that I could be Makes me a liar I’m moving like a snake among the weeds Why am I sly? I will never know what it means for you and I Staring down forever Feels like more than I can take This is all I am Here in Everdene All I ever wanted was a reason to believe But I’ve been holding on to everything As tightly as I can Oh my god I’m just a shadow of a man Cos I’ve stared over the edge And I’ve seen where it leads God what I would give If I could only feel at ease I been holding on too tight Take this cup out of my hands Oh my god I’m just a shadow of a man And it’s more can hold More than I’ll can hold When it’s quiet when it’s still Go easy if you can Sometimes I thank god I’m just a shadow of a man Cos I’ve seen over the edge There’s reason to believe I feel it pull too tight Wrap its arms around me
