The Milk Carton Kids - Monterey Shooting Shadows

Lyrics

i go out walking early in the mornings
you’re probably sleeping or still hungover
quiet evenings reading in the twilight
of all the things that cross my mind

we’re getting older
i hear your grandpa died
i read it in the paper it caught me by surprise
it made me think of when i lost mine
when i asked you said that you were fine

and i would not be surprised to find
you’d forgotten my name by now
no i could not see as time went by
my shadow fading out

i’m tough as nails, i test it all the time
i make my bed and then i lie
i try to say what’s mine is mine
but it’s just another story line

i’ve tried to think what happened to the fire
its burning out made me into a liar
made me feel like i’d been shooting shadows
letting what really mattered go
