Verse 1

Oh don't mind him
He's made of darkness
But I take him
Everywhere I go
You'd think the light
Would make him harmless
And yet by light
Do shadows grow

Pre Chorus 1

It's two of me in tension
Didn't know I had depression
Till he started writing songs
And I told him
Not to draw attention
So he fouettés
Across the floor

Chorus

Come watch me dancing
With my shadow
I'm trying to
Figure out the steps
Between the man
You think you follow
And the man
I really am
I'm out here singing
To the bright light all night
With all this darkness
In my head
So come watch me dancing
With my shadow
Can't you see
That I can't dance

Verse 2

Well surely a prophet on a poster
Must be the blatant worst of both
Oh I didn't wanna be your pastor
Lest some holy rolling stone

Pre Chorus 2

'Cause there's two of me in tension
Just waltzing with affection
Just learning as we go
And I'm tryin'
Not to draw attention
We've both been treading
On some toes

Chorus

Come watch me dancing
With my shadow
I'm trying to
Figure out the steps
Between the man
You think you follow
And the man
I really am
I can't keep singing
To the bright light all night
With all this darkness
In my head
So come watch me dancing
With my shadow
Can't you see
That I can't dance

Refrain

Can't you see
That I can't dance
Can't you see
That I can't dance
Dance

Bridge

I'm dancing with my
I'm dancing with my
I'm dancing with my shadow
I'm dancing with my
I'm dancing with my
I'm dancing with my shadow
I'm dancing with my shadow
