About a teenager who was leaving home for the first time.

lyrics

lyrics
[Verse 1]
You talk so sweet so sweet
I wonder how you don't get sugar high
Big surprise
You don't swallow your words
You let them be heard

You carve your thoughts into that mahogany desk
Your father made
What did he say
When you said
You were leaving

[Verse 2]
And where will you go
With that freckled nose
in this land
of starless nights
Will you be alright?

You drove so far
You drove in your car
Do you even know who you are?
Who are you?
Who are you?

[Pre- Chorus]
Who are you?
Who are you?

[Chorus]
You're my Shadow Boy
Run off in the night
Under pretty city lights
You know how to hide
Shadow, Shadow Boy (Who are you?)
Shadow, Shadow Boy (Who are you?)

[Verse 3]
Intoxicate me with your smile
As we sit on the bathroom tiles
You didn't
Want to go home
I didn't want to leave you alone

You keep your memories in mason jars
Try to figure out who you are
Who are you?
Who are you?

[Pre-Chorus]
Who are you?
Who are you?

[Chorus]
You're my Shadow Boy
Run off in the night
Under pretty city lights
You know how to hide
Shadow, Shadow Boy (Who are you?)
Shadow, Shadow Boy (Who are you?)

You're my Shadow Boy
Run off in the night
Under pretty city lights
You know how to hide
Shadow, Shadow Boy (Who are you?)
Shadow, Shadow Boy (Who are you?)
