Running With Shadows (Demo) Video (MV)

Morning sun, 5 mile run
Start too fast, like out of a gun
Mile 3, my body says, Yeah I think we're done
And then ahead I see
This runner shaped like me
And he keeps keepin' on, oh ever so relentlessly
There's something 'bout the way he runs ahead, it wears me out
But I can't catch him, ask him, Hey man, what's this all about

It seems I'm running after shadows
It seems I'm running after this man who's ahead of me
Will I always chase these shadows
Or if I run at noon
Or if the clouds roll in
Or if the sun goes down
Will I finally run alone, and be set free
Please leave me be

So then I turned and ran
The other way, and I lost that man
But right away I knew it wasn't such a brilliant plan
'Cause now there's this other guy
Who's on my heels, and he can fly
And I can't shake him, lose him, fake him, no matter how hard I try
I turn my head, and ask him, Hey man, do I know you
He says, If I'm familiar, well, I'm a runner you once knew

It seems I'm running away from shadows
It seems I'm running away from this man chasing after me
Will I always flee these shadows
Or if I run at noon
Or if the clouds roll in
Or if the sun goes down
Will I finally run alone, and be set free
Please don't run after me

But over time I realized
These two men were on my side
One to lead, and one to cheer
I came to see, I needn't fear
Over time I realized
These two men were on my side
One to lead, and one to cheer
I came to see, I needn't fear
One to lead, and one to cheer
I came to see, I needn't fear
I came to see, I needn't fear
I came to see, I needn't fear
Have you seen, we needn't fear

So now I'm running along with shadows
Now I'm reconciled to these two men who lead and follow me
I'm not running away from shadows
So I don't wait till noon
And I don't pray for clouds
And I don't hide till the nighttime
No, I'm happy now to run with shadows
To run with shadows
I run with shadows
Running with shadows
