I could spend a lifetime lookin' for something

Waitin' for the one, but it's never comin'

Miles and miles, but I can't stop runnin', can't stop runnin'

'cause when I'm at my best, I just see imperfections

Counting up my debts, never counting my blessings

Always out of reach, but it's right there in front of me

Right there in front of me, am I always gonna be.

Chasing my shadow?

Chasing my shadow.

Drinkin' on my back porch, dreamin' we'll get out

Scuffin' up my white vans, sneak out of your house

Just a couple kids, tryna figure it all out

Actin' reckless and stupid like life is a movie

Okay, now let's fast-forward, stick to the program

Stickers on my passport, new york to london

See the eiffel tower through a telescope

Watch a car crash, and a homeless man he said

"What do you know?" well, what do I know?

Chasing my shadow

Chasing my shadow

Wherever I run, wherever I go

Will I ever stop wanting more

Chasing my shadow.

Power lines through the city

And bowery looks so pretty

How far I've come, how far I've gotta go

And all I need is killin' me, it's killin me

As soon as I get what I wanted before

It's not what I want anymore.

I'm chasing my shadow

Chasing my shadow (chasin' me)

Wherever I run, wherever I go

Will I ever stop wanting more

Chasing my shadow

Chasing my shadow

Chasing my shadow.
