Lyric

Why is it so hard to take the first step today?

Is it just the fear of a future that’ll cry and fade away?

Caught in the same old dream, feet sinking in the sand

Falling deeper every time I try to take a stand

It started with the clarity inside your gentle smile

The muddy scenery vanished for a little while

A blend of joy and sorrow, a bittersweet design

The pain inside my chest was drawing you in every line

Shadow of a moon floating in a dream I can’t escape

Reaching for the stars, tracing every hidden shape

Like a sun concealed on the other side of sight

I can’t get any closer to the distance of your light

On the path back home, the moon peeked through a cloudy veil

Fading in the mist, looking thin and looking pale

Even the countless stars shimmering in the sky

Slip through my open palms as the night goes passing by

The repeating view starts to blur and drift away

Through the gaps in my straw umbrella, rain seeps in to stay

Chasing after light that I know I’ll never touch

Searching for a shadow, ‘cause I missed you far too much

The city is drenched in the burning sun

It’s blindingly bright, now the night is done

Even if I hide behind the moon, the hole is deep

I know exactly what it is I’m meant to keep

The sunrise returns to shine its light on you and me

The moon and the stars are nowhere left for us to see

To the sun—no, to you—I’m running through the blue

Leaving all the shadows on the ground to find the "new"

To you

Leaving the shadow behind
