Shadow Girl

It's 2 a.m., and nowhere to go
but I'm coming clean tonight
So get ready for the show

And I said, I can't let her fall
Cause she's tired of running and it's too hard to crawl

I wish she'd step back and out of the dark
She'd take a bullet in her hand before she'd open her heart

I wish she'd step back and out of the night
It's hard to put in words, but I'm trying

She's kind of like a picture
That's a little too faded
And they call her the Shadow Girl

And though I could never be the man to save her
Maybe I could bring some colour back to her world

I know she's been here before
She lives by the ocean
But she'll die by the shore

Her soul has never been reached
I watched her go from an angel
To the queen of deceit

She needs to step out
Into the Sun
Where the low-lifes dried before it's ever begun

I wish she'd step back and out of her mind
Before she breaks down walking the line

She's kind of like a picture
That's a little too faded
And they call her the Shadow Girl

And though I could never be the man to save her
Maybe I could bring some colour back to her world

She's like a storm
Before a perfect rainbow
But she sees her future in black and white

And though I could never find the nerve to tell her
I'm thinking she needs some colour back in her life

Shadow Girl
Oh, Shadow Girl

She's kind of like a picture
That's a little too faded
And they call her the Shadow Girl

And though I could never be the man to save her
Maybe I could bring some colour back to her world

Maybe I could bring some colour back to her world

Maybe I could bring some colour back to her world
