Story Behind The Song
The music was written around the lyrics but everyone seemed to be drawn to the melody so I decided to make an instrumental out of it.
Song Description
It's the story of a young couple who have just recently found each other but one party is still clingling to a past love that is gone out of the picture and is having a hard time moving on because of all the memories. The other is asking them to let go of that love and move into a new relationship. That love is not a once in a lifetime happening.

Lyrics
SHADOWS
WE LAUGH ALOT WHENEVER WE'RE TOGETHER
BUT YOUR LAUGHTER IS ONLY A DISGUISE
BEYOND THE WALL THAT'S STANDING HERE BETWEEN US
I SEE SHADOWS OF AN OLD LOVE IN YOUR EYES
YOU'VE BEEN HOLDING ON TO HOPELESS WISHES
BLOCKING OUT THE LIGHT THAT TRUE LOVE NEEDS TO GROW
LET LOVE INTO YOUR HEART AND KNOW THAT THIS IS
ALL IT REALLY TAKES TO MAKE THOE SHADOW GO
CHORUS
DON'T LINGER ANY LONGER IN THE SHADOWS
ALWAYS LOOKIN' BACK AT WHERE YOU'VE BEEN
AS LONG AS YOU ARE LIVING IN THOSE SHADOWS
YOU CAN'T BE FREE TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN
OUR LOVE WOULD SURELY GROW OUT IN THE SUNSHINE
IN THE SHADOWS LOVE CAN'T EVEN GET A START
REMEMBER LOVE CAN HAPPEN MORE THAN ONETIME
DON'T LET SHADOWS FROM THE PAST KEEP US APART
