(do not) stand in the shadow

hearts which beat to a precise beat

fading shadows on the wall

we'll cut our cards

drive out bars

all for one

one for all. like teenage heat

and carnival cheats

with your heart on your sleeve

well you know you wanna run

you won't hide

and you jump like a son of a gun

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

oh alone and lonely

watching people on my wall

well mama and dadda thought they had me fooled

i was thinking not at all

well i got out

not gonna stand

in the dark without a light

forgetting love if you believe that chance

sit and wait

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

and now the judge is down feeling

all around yeah

lifting to a blast this sound

no preachers

teachers

pick our minds

to the sounds of false alarm

they're here today

and they hear you say

you're alive and you're living with me

so don't try to hide

and don't try to die

in the dark of the night

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows

in the shadows

in the shadows

do not stand in the shadows
