Lying on a ninety-centimeter bed
That’s our favorite spot, no one finds us there
That’s where we tell each other, all cuddled up, what’s hard to say outside
Because when the days are heavy, we turn them around
And pressing our faces together, we tell each other what’s obvious
And you have no rivals, all you’ve got are shadows by your side
And no matter how much they follow in your footsteps
That’s something you’re born with, it’s what God has given you, uh-uh
And you have no rivals, all you’ve got are shadows by your side
And a light that’s too beautiful, and everyone wants it, so be careful
(-ful, -ful, eh)
And when you feel they’re dimming your light, shine more, shine more
(Hm-hm, ah-oh; oh)
And when you feel they’re dimming your light, shine more, shine more
I have conversations with the universe, and I know it always listens to me
I know when I look at you, and we’re both wearing hoodies
We’re protected, but that doesn’t always heal
And I pray an “Our Father,” just in case, on an empty stomach (Ah)
I know we walk in, and the weather changes
And we do that without meaning to, it’s been like that our whole lives
And some people drain your energy
Because the one they have doesn’t leave a wound
One stylist is the other’s stylist
And even when we don’t care, we’re always right on time
Always going against the current, in the opposite direction of the world
That’s why everyone looks at us with a scared face
If you stay in places where people don’t recognize your worth
You’ll reduce your gift to the size they can bear
And whenever they try to mess with us, we tell each other what’s obvious
And you have no rivals, all you’ve got are shadows by your side
And no matter how much they follow in your footsteps
That’s something you’re born with, it’s what God has given you, uh-uh
And you have no rivals, all you’ve got are shadows by your side
And a light that’s too beautiful, and everyone wants it, so be careful (-ful, -ful, eh)
(-ful, -ful, eh)
And when you feel they’re dimming your light, shine more, shine more
(Hm-hm, ah-oh; oh)
And when you feel they’re dimming your light, shine more, shine more, uh!
I’m not going to shrink my vision because you can’t keep up with me
You better follow me, or I’ll pass right over you
