Lunatics On Pogosticks – Shadow (Version 2) lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can only talk to you when I'm fucked up
It's the only time I can bear to listen
To all the shit that dribbles out of your mouth

And I'm so tired
But you never understand
That it's an excuse, and I don't want to be your friend
I'm done with you

[Verse 2]
I never invite you around
You just turn up unannounced
You're like a shadow following me
And I can't seem to get you to leave

When we speak I don't get a word in
When we go out you wear the same thing as me
And people come up to us thinking this was planned
I'm not here to be your wing-man

[Chorus]
I wanna go out alone
Without you over my shoulder

[Verse 3]
And it always seems to be a competition
I can't do this with a low self-esteem
And when I told you there's a girl I kind of like
You go and fuck her by the end of the night

[Chorus]
I wanna go out alone
Without you over my shoulder
I wanna go out alone
Without you over my shoulder

[Verse 4]
When you're shut down by all the girls around
You come to my bed to rest your head
And I'm so tired of you hanging around
I don't want you around me anymore

[Chorus]
I wanna go out alone
Without you over my shoulder
I wanna go out alone
Without you over my shoulder

I'm your shadow
I'm sick of it

I'm your shadow
I'm sick your shit

[Verse 1]
I can only talk to you when I'm fucked up
It's the only time I can bear to listen
To all the shit that dribbles out of your mouth
