One more shadow

One more shadow meets the light
Another antidote I'm gonna try
False effects -- we'll have to smile
As one more shadow leans against the wall

Last night you told me through the tears
That you wanted to be part of me
But you couldn't get quite that close
I thought about how to make it clearer
That you're part of what I will be
Without making it sound so shallow

as one more shadow meets the light
Another antidote I'm gonna try
False effects -- we'll have to smile
As one more shadow leans against the wall

"If you don't have anything good to do
Just don't say anything at all"
is what I thought I heard you try to say
I want to make new things start with you,
and hop past that place I fall
But I can't go on if you have no faith

as one more shadow meets the light
Another antidote I'm gonna try
False effects -- we'll have to smile
As one more shadow leans against the wall
