The Milk Carton Kids - Shooting Shadows

I'll go out walking, early in the mornings
You're probably sleeping or still hungover.

Quiet evenings reading in the twilight
Of all the things that crossed my mind.

We're getting older, I hear your grandpa died
I read it in the paper, caught me by surprise.

Made me think of when I lost mine
When I asked you said that you were fine.

And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now.

No I could not see, as time went by
My shadow fading out.

Tough as nails, I tested all the time
I make my bed, and then I lie.

I try to say, what's mine is mine
But its just another story line.

I've tried to think, what happened to the fire
It's burning out, made me into a liar.

Made me feel like I'd been shooting shadows
Letting all that really mattered go.

And I would not be surprised to find
You'd forgotten my name by now.

No I could not see, as time went by
My shadow fading out.
