[Verse 1]

I've been stuck inside my room

And somewhat recently

In silent solitude

My shadow spoke to me

It gave me some advice

It said to me that

"You'll never be as happy as you used to be

But if you try

You might get pretty close eventually"

It's safer all alone

But listen, here's the thing

If you never leave home

No one can hear you sing

That I think that's a shame

Because I know that

You've been practicing

You're sounding prеtty good

So step onto the stage

I rеally think that

[Chorus]

You could be anything you want to be if

You didn't take yourself so fucking seriously

So go outside under cloudless skies

Turn around, look down and see I'm still by your side

[Verse 2]

And when you wanna run away

I'll follow close behind

I'll be the one to tell you

"Try again another time"

Don't be afraid to live

You should be afraid of time

Creeping up on you

Till suddenly you die

It got you in its sights

There's nowhere you can hide

But it will be alright

And you will be okay

So swallow up your pride

Get up, engage the day

Transcend into the sky

Block out the sun and

I will envelop everything

I'll be the shadow to your light

If you could only see that

[Chorus]

You could be anything you want to be if

You didn't take yourself so fucking seriously

So go outside under cloudless skies

Turn around, look down and see I'm still by your side
