Shadows in the Dark Lyrics

Street lights, flicker casting low, I pull my jacket tight, I go

Footsteps echo in the night, heartbeat racing, grip so tight

A shadow lingers close behind, I feel a chill, I wanna hide

Every corner, every turn, feel their eyes, the fear returns

Who's there in the dark, following close? Each step I take, I feel them the most

In the quiet streets, I'm not alone. Stranger in the shadows, please go home

Oh, I'm breathing shallow, walking fast, hoping this feeling doesn't last

But then a voice breaks through the night, and suddenly it's all alright

A hand reaches out, I turn around. In the dim street glow, a familiar sound

My friend standing there, with a nervous grin, says

Didn't mean to scare you, it's just been one of those things

I saw you walking, thought I'd stay near, didn't want you out here alone with fear

I laugh and breathe, my guard comes down, grateful for a friend in this lonesome town

Who's there in the dark, following close? Each step I take, I feel them the most

In the quiet streets, I'm not alone. Stranger in the shadows, please go home

Oh, I'm breathing easy, walking slow, grateful that you didn't let go

A friend in shadows, looking out, easing my fears, turning them around

Who's there in the dark, following close? Each step I take, I feel them the most

In the quiet streets, I'm not alone. Turns out the stranger's someone I know

Now I'm breathing easy, walking slow, grateful that you didn't let go

A friend in shadows, looking out, easing my fears, turning them around

Sometimes fear can hide a friend, someone there till the very end

In the night, when we're feeling small, it's good to know you'll answer the call

Now we're laughing as streetlights glow, a silent promise I didn't know

Through the dark, you watch my back, turn shadows into courage I lacked

Oh, I'm breathing shallow, walking fast, hoping this feeling doesn't last

But then a voice breaks through the night, and suddenly it's all alright
