Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look into his eyes
They're closed but I see something
A teacher told me why
I laugh when old men cry
[Verse 2]
My body grows and grows
It frightens me, you know
Old man tried to walk me home
I thought he should've known
[Chorus]
Twilight
Twilight
Lost my way
Twilight
Can't find my way
[Verse 3]
In the shadow, boy meets man
In the shadow, boy meets man
In the shadow, boy meets man
In the shadow, boy meets man
[Verse 4]
I'm running in the rain
I'm caught in a late night play
It's all, it's everything
I'm soaking through the skin
[Chorus]
Twilight
Darkened day
Twilight
Lost my way
Twilight
Night and day
Twilight
Can't find my way
Can't find your way
Can't find my way
Can't find your way
[Chorus]
Twilight
Darkened day
Twilight
Lost my way
Twilight
Night and day
Twilight
Can't find my way
[Outro]
In the shadow, boy meets man
In the shadow, boy meets man
In the shadow, boy meets man
In the shadow, boy meets man
