In Your Shadow

I’m running out of time
And they’re pushing me away
It’s like sucking on a lime
And they throw me away
I think it’s a crime
That they always get their way
They’re sucking out my time
And chucking it all away

They’ve all thrown me out
Out into the great wide world
They don’t listen to my shout
That I can’t make it in the world
At least not without one of them
I need them, I feed on acceptance
And too many side with them
I’m dying from lack of acceptance

Help me please, Sacha Anne
You or someone’s got to come back
I need you, Sacha Anne
Oh please, please, you’ve got to come back
Don’t know who I want now
Someone to fill this stupid void
Jackie threw me out now
Someone fill this dang void

I’m running away this time
Cause they’re pushing me away
It’s like chocking on a lime
And you still shove me away
I think it’s this dime
That always gets in the way
Think it’s this dumb dime
So I’ll throw it far, far away

Don’t pay attention to me
I don’t pay attention to you
But when you look at me
I’m always staring at you
If you don’t pay attention to me
I’ll die from lack of knowing you
I need you to look at me
Cause I’m really liking you

I can’t believe you’d reject me
Just flat out go and leave me
I just need to be
Exactly what you want me to be
You don’t realize I need you
Maybe you just don’t want to realize
Cause you don’t want me near you
I can see it all in your eyes

Those beautiful eyes I can’t forget
I try but no one else wants me
So there’s no way to forget
Because I know no one else wants me
And you don’t want me either
But if you change your mind
I’m standing back here with niether
A friend nor peace of mind

If you look behind you I’m there
Standing alone in your shadow
Trying so hard I’m always there
Need you here without a shadow
I’m trying to be what you want
And know I must be failing badly
I’ll try to figure out what you want
Cause you know I want you so badly

These thoughts they don’t end
And they’re pushing me away
This time I think I’ll send
Myself into a brighter day
I can’t turn away this time
The pull to you is just too strong
I see another dumb dime
They’re behind you all day long

They lead me toward you
And I wonder if it’s a sign
Cause they lead me to you
And is it a good or bad sign?
I’m looking again toward you
They’re in a straight line
Leading straight toward you
Still I choke and say I’m fine

I’m still behind you falling
Alone in a pile of dimes
That all lead me to you calling
Making me think of the times
That we could have together
But I’m still in your shadow
Think of what we could have together
And I’ll be following in your shadow
