I could spend a lifetime lookin' for something Waitin' for the one, but it's never comin' Miles and miles, but I can't stop runnin', can't stop runnin' 'Cause when I'm at my best, I just see imperfections Counting up my debts, never counting my blessings Always out of reach, but it's right there in front of me Right there in front of me, am I always gonna be Chasing my shadow? Chasing my shadow Drinkin' on my back porch, dreamin' we'll get out Scuffin' up my white Vans, sneak out of your house Just a couple kids, tryna figure it all out Actin' reckless and stupid like life is a movie Okay, now let's fast-forward, stick to the program Stickers on my passport, New York to London See the Eiffel Tower through a telescope Watch a car crash, and a homeless man, he said What do you know? Well, what do I know? Chasing my shadow Chasing my shadow Wherever I run, wherever I go Will I ever stop wanting more? Chasing my shadow Power lines through the city And Bowery looks so pretty How far I've come, how far I've gotta go And all I need is killin' me, it's killin me As soon as I get what I wanted before It's not what I want anymore I'm chasing my shadow Chasing my shadow (Chasin' me) Wherever I run, wherever I go Will I ever stop wanting more Chasing my shadow (My shadow) Chasing my shadow Chasing my shadow
