Lyrics:

Oh I know
I have been told
And what if I won’t live in shadow
In shadow
Yes I know
I have been told
I have been told

Striking out alone 
With fire in your bones
And a view to kill the quiet
Because something happened then
That could come around again
And what if you refuse to buy it
And I’m sorry that you feel that this is your lot
But you’ll have to live it on without me
And I’ll love you all the more
But I want you to be sure
That you won’t have to worry about me

Yes I know
I have been told
And what if I won’t live in shadow
In shadow
Yes I know
I have been told
I have been told
I know
I have been told
And what if I refuse to live in
In shadow
Oh I know
I have been told
I have been told

When it comes around
Close your eyes and take it down
But don’t act like you didn’t choose to
Because we did the best we can
In the absence of a man
But non-attendance can confuse you
It’s a sentence that was handed down from long ago
But what if I refuse to take it
And what if I refuse
To accept the news 
That this is the model from now on

Oh I know
I have been told
And what if I won’t live in shadow
In shadow
Yes I know
I have been told
I have been told
Oh I know
I have been told
And what if I refuse to live in
In shadow
Yes I know
I have been told
I have been told

It’s a sentence that was handed down from long ago
And what if I refuse

Under Blue Skies

The River

I know it’s hard for you to try and guess everything I’m thinking
Is that what you’re thinking?
Can I make it youthfully tragic, enigmatic?
While I’m clinging onto the thought that it can’t beat me
But it nearly beat me

And my chest grows tight, when I know that I

I think I’ve felt this fall before
It’s sticking harder than I’d thought
I’ll call my friends, and let them down
And change my name, and leave my town
Then go get help, but lie about it all
Til you see the signs of the fall

I guess I’m still that kid with all her fears
I thought coming of age would come with a bit more patience
I didn’t know if I’d make it
Do I rely on the medication?
Internet sensations?
Dopamine-dependent temporary vacations from everything that I’m faking

And my chest grows tight, when I know that I

I think I’ve felt this fall before
It’s sticking harder than I’d thought
I’ll call my friends, and let them down
And change my name, and leave my town
Then go get help, but lie about it all
Til you see the signs of the fall

Has my ego become too bruised finding something to live and die for?
Know that I’ve still got more to prove, but there’s too much to care and fight for

And my chest grows tight, when I know that I

I think I’ve felt this fall before
It’s sticking harder than I’d thought
I’ll call my friends and let them down
And change my name, and leave my town
Then go get help, but lie about the reasons why I don’t come out
I’m scared to love and I’m scared to lose
And I’m scared of ageing for both me and you
And I’m all choked up, have I said too much?
Did I roam too far?
Will you pick me up?
