The Rasmus —
In the Shadows

Lyrics and Music by Aki Hakala, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi and Lauri Ylönen

     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     Uh-oh, uh-oh.

No sleep,
No sleep until I’m done
With finding the answer.
Won’t stop,
Won’t stop before I find
A cure for this cancer.

   Sometimes,
   I feel like going down,
   I’m so disconnected.
   Somehow,
   I know that I am haunted
   To be wanted.

Chorus:
     I’ve been watching,
     I’ve been waiting
     In the shadows for my time.
     I’ve been searching,
     I’ve been living
     For tomorrows all my life.

     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     In the shadows.

     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     In the shadows.

They say
That I must learn to kill
Before I can feel safe,
But I,
I’d rather kill myself
Than turn into their slave.

   Sometimes,
   I feel that I should go
   And play with the thunder.
   Somehow,
   I just don’t wanna stay
   And wait for a wonder.

Chorus:
     I’ve been watching,
     I’ve been waiting
     In the shadows for my time.
     I’ve been searching,
     I’ve been living
     For tomorrows all my life.

Bridge:
   Lately I’ve been walking,
   Walking in circles,
   Watching, waiting for something.
   Feel me, touch me, heal me,
   Come take me higher.

Chorus:
     I’ve been watching,
     I’ve been waiting
     In the shadows for my time.
     I’ve been searching,
     I’ve been living
     For tomorrows all my life.

     I’ve been watching,
     I’ve been waiting,
     I’ve been searching,
     I’ve been living
     For tomorrows.

     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     In the shadows.

     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     Uh-oh, uh-oh.
     In the shadows.

     I’ve been waiting.
