10 Ft. Shadow
lyrics by Christine Murray
My feet are caught on the carpet
My shirt is stuck in the doorknob
You're laughing behind your hand
And it trails me down the stairs
(Chorus)
I'm like a 10 ft shadow
Dragging along behind you
I'm like a 10 ft shadow
Dragging along behind you
I'm always conscious
Of how much space I take up
I want to fit in small spaces
I want to hide behind you
Chorus
I'm here for your protection
I'm here to make you feel safe
You can pull me out like a talisman
Or you can ditch me when the danger's attractive
Chorus
(Bridge)
And is it worth what I'm getting
Through this pin prick peephole
I'm like a dog on a chain
Choked back
Everytime I get too close
Dog on a chain
Choked back
Everytime I get too
Close
Chorus
