I saw your shadow today and I fell in love.
It was short and it was small and it was complete.
It could never be mine, treading pavement and paths not mine to pass.
But I watched as best I could, as one traces the flight of the all above.

It was short and it was small and it was complete.
The skeletal shades glowed bright red in the evening sun.
But I watched as best I could, as one traces the flight of the all above.
Seeing your reckless face at its very best guess, grass summer sweet.

The skeletal shades glowed bright red in the evening sun.
I started to sprint and run and run knowing I’d never find your grasp.
Seeing your reckless face at its very best guess, grass summer sweet.
I was compelled to forward motion, to chase what could not be won.

I started to sprint and run and run knowing I’d never find your grasp.
My lungs in heave, my legs cramped, my entire life in flash.
I was compelled to forward motion, to chase what could not be won.
And I’ll keep groping and feeling for your shape traced until my last.
