Old town behind us I used to fly Pour yourself a drink That's when I slide Always looking for another way out Never just at ease When everybody settles down to revel That's when I have to leave Staring down forever Feels like more than I can take This is all I am Here in Everdene All I ever wanted was a reason to believe But I've been holding on to everything As tightly as I can Oh, my God, I'm just a shadow of a man And it's more than I can hold I watch as they sit still With my green eyes All that I wish that I could be Makes me a liar I'm moving like a snake among the weeds Why am I sly? I will never know what it means for you and I Staring down forever Feels like more than I can take This is all I am Here in Everdene All I ever wanted was a reason to believe But I've been holding on to everything As tightly as I can Oh, my God, I'm just a shadow of a man 'Cause I've stared over the edge And I've seen where it leads God, what I would give if I could only feel at ease And I'm holding on too tight Take this cup out of my hands Oh, my God, I'm just a shadow of a man And it's more than I can hold More than I can hold When it's quiet, when it's still Go easy, if you can Sometimes I thank God I'm just a shadow of a man 'Cause I've seen over the edge There's reason to believe I feel it pull too tight Wrap its arms around me
