Soaking Up The Shadows - Original Song (Gordon True)

Its been 7 months since my last upload, way too long.

This was a bit out of my comfort zone, but I'm happy with the end result.

Lyrics:

I thought I had it good down in south beach
sippin up palm trees
laid back throwin jokes at the wannabes
back then I thought you wanted me
then your ice cold words cut deep
through the red hot sizzle of the july heat
my mind was gettin cluttered
by the constant yellow over me
and honestly I couldn't sleep
suddenly Miami was the symbol of my vice
had to make my escape from paradise

I'm running from the sunshine
taking cover under grey skies
you can find me in Seattle
soaking up the shadows
soaking up the shadows

you told me it was real
that you couldn't feel
anything but you and me
I'm still ill thinkin bout the things you were promising
be with me
whatever
we can be together
see this is where it ends
time for life to begin again
I'm going to the place where the clouds take precedent
find some shade and forget about the rest of it
I can't sit and worry cause whats done is done
but there's more to the journey
than everything under the sun

and I know someday it'll get to you too
it happens to the best of us
you're lucky if its you
so when you get sick of heat
and the sun's got you rattled
look me up and we can soak up some shadows
