Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your shadow walks faster than you
You don't really know what to do
Do you think that you're not alone?
You really think that you're immune to
It's gonna get the best of you
It's gonna lift you up and let you down
Mm-mm-mm
[Verse 2]
It will defeat you, then teach you to get back up
After it takes away all that you learn to love
[Verse 3]
Your reflection is a blur
Out of focus, but in confusion
The frames are suddenly burnt
At the end of a roll of illusions
A ghost waiting his turn
Now, I can see right through
It's a warning that nobody heard
[Verse 4]
It will teach you to love what you're afraid of
After it takes away all that you learn to love
[Verse 5]
But you don't
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart
[Verse 6]
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better be hopin' you're not so
[Verse 7]
Do, do, do, do, do
Hope you're not alone
Hmm, hmm, hmm
[Verse 8]
Your, your echo comes back out of tune
Now you can't quite get used to it
Reverb is just a room
The problem is that there's no truth
To it's fading away too soon
Your shadow is on the move
And maybe, you should be movin' too
[Verse 9]
Before it takes away all that you learned to love
It will defeat you, then teach you to get back up
[Verse 10]
'Cause you don't
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart
[Verse 11]
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better be hoping you're not alone
[Verse 12]
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better hope you're not so
[Verse 13]
Do, do, do, do, do-do-do-do
Hope you're not alone
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Better hope
Hope, you better hope you're not alone
Hope, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
