Chasing Shadows

[Instrumental]

I stand by the mirror, expecting my face Instead there’s a version of me I’ve erased The eyes looking back open wide and they gleam They show me the things I was meant to achieve Her steps never waver, she stays on her path (path) Confidence worn like a crown on her head I tell her I’m sorry, that I should have tried (tried) to drown out the voices that kept me down Mirror, mirror, what have I done? (What have I done?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won Now I see the dreams I left behind, (left behind) The girl in the mirror pays the price. And I see her dancing, free of regret (regret) A life still unfolding, no fear in her steps The choices I ran from, and all that I gave Up on, and into, so many mistakes I know I can't fix what's already been broken (broken) or go back in time, speak when I should have spoken I tell her I’m sorry, I should have been brave (brave) And not let the whispers control me that way Mirror, mirror, what have I done? (What have I done?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won (won) Now I see the dreams I left behind, (left behind) The girl in the mirror pays the price. I reach for the girl, try to step through the frame, To tell her to fight, not to fall for the same, The shards stay in place, the glass won’t bend, I’m stuck on this side, with no way to amend. Mirror, mirror, what have I done? (What have I done?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won Now I see the dreams I left behind, (left behind) The girl in the mirror pays the price. Mirror, mirror, what have I become? (What have I become?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won Now I see the dreams I let slip by, (slip by) The girl in the mirror pays the price.

[Verse] Lights go down but our hearts glow Tiny smiles let their colors show Innocence in every laugh we know Chasing dreams like a river's flow [Verse 2] Little hands reach up to the sky Wishing on stars as they fly by World so big through their wondering eyes Time stands still as the magic ties [Chorus] Pitter patter heartbeat strong In their joy we all belong Love so pure it can't go wrong Hear the kids sing their sweet song [Verse 3] Hopscotch steps in a perfect line Whispers secrets that intertwine Imagining worlds where all is fine Every day a new sunshine [Verse 4] Teddy bears guard their dreams at night Captured moments in their flight In their hearts pure delight Endless stories ignite [Bridge] Laughter echoing 'cross the room Swept away from doubt and gloom In their love we find our bloom Living in this carefree moon

[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] When they close the city Just you and me It's how is suppose to be Every night is extacy It's you I'm thinking constantly Show me how It's gonna be Say my name and moan with me Feel the fire inside of me [Bridge] That smile (when I close my eyes) Makes me run away with you That smile (when I close my eyes) Takes me higher to the moon That smile (when I close my eyes) Body to body we start wandering That smile (when I close my eyes) Rise up the deads and I feel like flying [Chorus] Get loose In the street lights Got lost from my way in your eyes I Get loose Forget about anything I'll take you and you take me and we [Chorus] Get loose In the street lights Got lost from my way in your eyes I Get loose Forget about anything I'll take you and you take me and then [Verse 2] You and me on the boulevard We are dancing under the stars In the rain in the nighty lights Waiting for a bus to arrive New York is expecting us Maybe Vegas for a trip on a bus Doesnt matter where we are heading Just enjoy the ride we are young [Bridge] That smile (when I close my eyes) Makes me run away with you That smile (when I close my eyes) Takes me higher to the moon That smile (when I close my eyes) Body to body we start wandering That smile (when I close my eyes) Rise up the deads and I feel like flying [Chorus] Get loose In the street lights Got lost from my way in your eyes I Get loose Forget about anything I'll take you and you take me and we [Chorus] Get loose In the street lights Got lost from my way in your eyes I Get loose Forget about anything I'll take you and you take me and then [Chorus] Get loose [Instrumental] [Outro]
