Catch Your Shadow in the Dark lyrics
Verse 1
Warm wind through the open gate
Bare feet on the patio slate
Three a.m. and the ice runs low
Sweat shines on your collarbone
Log drum humming down below
Pre-Chorus
Move slow, don't break the frame
Nobody knows your name
One pull, you bring me near
Nothing but the low end here
Chorus
Slow turn, easy spark
Catch your shadow in the dark
Step close, leave a mark
Catch your shadow in the dark
Verse 2
Cold drops on a plastic cup
That kick drum never lets us up
Thin cotton sticking to my spine
Nineteen, twenty, out of time
Red taillight through the garden screen
Hottest night we've ever seen
Pre-Chorus
Move slow, don't break the frame
Nobody knows your name
One pull, you bring me near
Nothing but the low end here
Chorus
Slow turn, easy spark
Catch your shadow in the dark
Step close, leave a mark
Catch your shadow in the dark
Bridge
Skin warm, air thick
Heavy where the fingers grip
Hold right there, don't move
Locked inside this summer groove
Don't move
Right there
Chorus
Slow turn, easy spark
Catch your shadow in the dark
Step close, leave a mark
Catch your shadow in the dark
