Joi Olympia - Shadow Lyrics

And so it seems
I'm lost inside a dream
Don't wake me now
From this peace

I dream I'm bathing in a sunlit room by the sea
Dream of a little girl running who looks just like me
In a field of wildflowers
In the shallow spring
Just a prayer away
From finding her wings

I dream
I live in the shadow of who I want to be
I'm living for you but not for me
What I always knew but what I couldn't believe to be true
Is this what I want
What I need

I live in the shadow of who I want to be
I'm living for you but not for me
I live in the shadow of who I want to be
I'm living for you but not for me

Drowning in these shallow waters
Gasping for air and finding my feet
Drowning in these shallow waters
Pull me out and help me breathe
Breathe
Breathe

I live in the shadow of who I want to be
I'm living for you but not for me
I live in the shadow of who I want to be
I'm living for you but not for me

Was it worth it, Joel
Don't ask don't tell
Was she worth with it Joel
Please let me be

I live in the shadow of who I want to be
I live in the shadow
No longer for you, I'm living for me
