Light in My Shadow

Woke up in another state with a pounding in my head

Floor covered in blood and broken glass

And I could drink to drown 'til I'm slow in the step like a dog who's had his day

But by the morn' all the words that you said keep coming back

You're the light in my shadow

You're my wayward star

You're the light in my shadow

My wayward star, my wayward star

Running around with a lump in my throat and a stagger in my stride

Just another time that I couldn't sink my pride

And I've got lock jaw from biting my tongue 3600 miles from home

20-20-24 hours to go

You're the light in my shadow

You're my wayward star

You're the light in my shadow

My wayward star, my wayward star

Talk about the time we thought that we knew what's coming next

Back to the wall with the future at your steps

We never had a chance at all

We listened to the warning calls shouting out

I couldn't sleep with your words in my head so I thought that I'd walk it out

I walk along with my conscience weighing me down

And blacking out isn't doing me good so I knew what I had to do

Call you up and admit that I've been a fool

You're the light in my shadow

You're my wayward star

You're the light in my shadow

My wayward star, my wayward star

You're the light in my shadow

You're my wayward star

You're the light in my shadow
