Break My Shadow

You're telling me things I don't want to hear
Jaywalking on Spring Street 
and you whispered that you love me in my ear

I'll follow you anywhere, you know
But I don't want to follow where you won't go
I can't follow where you won't go

You'll break my shadow if you run too fast
Strike me with your smile
And shatter all my echoes like glass

Weeks go fast but days go slow
Don't make me follow where you won't go
I don't want to follow where you won't go

You say in autumn we'll drive to New England
And watch all the leaves change to red
But I won't even know you by then
I know that I won't know you by then

It's a beautiful thing watching leaves die slow
But I don't want to follow where you won't go
Don't make me follow where you won't go

I wake at night in my empty bed
A smile on my face
From the sound of your laughter in my head

You're only fooling me I know
Please stop filling me with dreams and hopes
Just stop filling me with dreams and hopes

My death was beautiful and slow
So please stop filling me with dreams and hopes
I can't handle all these dreams and hopes.
