Chasing Shadows
I'm chasing shadows.
 Watching life through dirty windows.
 I can't quite figure it out,
 the pain, the love, the doubt.
 Maybe I'm reading in between the lines.
 Maybe the sun wasn't meant to shine.
 There's something I can't see.
 Something that hasn't yet been shown to me.
 So I sit and listen to the rain fall
 waiting for life to slow to a crawl.
 I'm standing still
 perched at my window sill
 watching lightning flash 
 and hearing thunder crash
 Not knowing what to do next
 I close my eyes and take a breath.
