[Verse 1]
I could spend a lifetime looking for something
Waiting for the one, but it's never coming
Miles and miles, but I can't stop running, can't stop running
'Cause when I'm at my best, I just see imperfections
Counting up my debts, never counting my blessings
Always out of reach, but it's right there in front of me
Right there in front of me, am I always gonna be

[Chorus]
Chasing my shadow?
Chasing my shadow

[Verse 2]
Drinking on my back porch, dreaming we'll get out
Scuffing up my white Vans, sneak out of your house
Just a couple kids tryna figure it all out
Acting reckless and stupid like life is a movie
Okay, now it's fast-forward, stick to the program
Stickers on my passport, New York to London
Seen the Eiffel Tower through a telescope
Watched a car crash, and a homeless man, he said
"What do you know?" Well, what do I know?

[Chorus]
Chasing my shadow
Chasing my shadow
Wherever I run, wherever I go
When will I ever stop wanting more?
Chasing my shadow
[Bridge]
Power lines through the city
And Bowery looks so pretty
How far I've come, how far I've gotta go
And, oh, the irony is killing me, it's killing me
As soon as I get what I wanted before
It's not what I want anymore

[Chorus]
I'm chasing my shadow
Chasing my shadow (Chasing my)
Wherever I run, wherever I go
Oh, when will I ever stop wanting more?
Chasing my shadow (My shadow)

[Outro]
Chasing my shadow
Chasing my shadow
