long shadow

every song with a broken heart

says drive out to the coast

damn my luck when i show up

that's where i feel you most

so i drove up to seattle

where they say it always rains

but even on a cloudy day

you cast a long shadow

even the highway can't outrun

somehow you're always standing

between me and the sun

no matter how far

you follow my heart

new york to california

you cast a long shadow don't ya

you cast a long shadow don't ya

oh i know i can't stay here

i know i can't home

maybe i gotta cross an ocean

to finally shake your ghost

could i fly faster than your memory

to the ends of the earth

cause hometown goodbyes are a world of hurt

you cast a long shadow

even the highway can't outrun

somehow you're always standing

between me and the sun

no matter how far

you follow my heart

new york to california

you cast a long shadow don't ya

you cast a long shadow don't ya

dive bar smoke on a leather jacket

i can't help but hear you laughin'

dancing with you even after the end

of the song

baby that's just how you linger on

you cast a long shadow

even the highway can't outrun

somehow you're always standing

between me and the sun

no matter how far

you follow my heart

new york to california

you cast a long shadow don't ya

you cast a long shadow don't ya
