Tom DeLonge
Chasing Shadows
[Verse 1]
Eighteen and a wicker basket
Red cape and an open casket
Tied up to a broken lever
If I move, it hurts forever
I am not that host
But I want her
Wolf in a winter playground
White snow to let the red out
I hear that alarms are better
Than a warning, like a feather
I don't like my tone
But I want her

[Chorus]
So here I am
I'm falling to my knees
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
When you come around
So here I am
I'm waiting for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
When you come around

[Verse 2]
Why sleep I can't forget it
Moonrise I'm now committed
Your move 'cause I am tethered
Like a slave, I don't know better
I listen for your words
Yeah I want her
Lost boys in a haunted forest
Bright things in the maze before us
My life has now been severed
I can't bare to remember who I was before
The day I met her
[Chorus]
So here I am
I'm falling to my knees
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
When you come around
So here I am
I'm waiting for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
When you come around

So here I am
I'm falling to my knees
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
When you come around
So here I am
I'm waiting for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
When you come around

So here I am
I'm falling to my knees
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
When you come around
So here I am
I'm waiting for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
When you come around
