In The Shadow Of The Sun (Original Mix) - Professor Green Edit by Kain Records They say that life is always easier 00:00
After you let yourself come undone 00:04
They say they'll give you whatever you want 00:10
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun 00:14
Seizing time where no one's been before 00:18
Close the curtains, what you waiting for? 00:22
And I'll be keeping secrets 00:26
Till I'm in the ground 00:30
Keep your past your own, I don't care about before 00:36
I don't wanna know your secrets, I wanna help you keep yours 00:40
No one needs to, no one'll ever know what we do 00:44
Where we go, why don't we go to a place where only we know? 00:48
Where we escape from real life and it feels good and it feels nice 00:51
That we ain't yet but we still might 00:55
Cause we go with it if it feels right 00:57
And it feels... feels amazing 00:59
We ain't ready to see the day And I'll be waiting in the shadow of the sun 01:02
Seizing time where no one's been before 01:07
Close the curtains, what you waiting for? 01:10
And I'll be keeping secrets 01:14
And I'll be waiting in the shadow of the sun 01:18
Seizing time where no one's been before 01:22
Close the curtains, what you waiting for? 01:26
And I'll be keeping secrets 01:30
Till I'm in the ground 01:34
Let go of fear 01:36
This can be a secret that we both keep, that we both share 01:37
Hidden behind the smiles we both wear 01:41
As the sun creeps through the curtains 01:43
On the walls we become two silhouettes 01:45
As we close our eyes 01:47
Let go of the lies that fill our heads 01:49
Let's light it up, live life in the moment 01:51
Why would we worry about where we might end up? 01:54
They can't see us, they can't judge us, it's just us 01:56
They might wonder but only know where we go when the sun comes up 02:00
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun 02:04
Seizing time where no one's been before 02:07
Close the curtains, what you waiting for? 02:11
And I'll be keeping secrets 02:14
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun 02:18
Seizing time where no one's been before 02:22
Close the curtains, what you waiting for? 02:25
And I'll be keeping secrets 02:29
Till I'm in the ground 02:33
I'm in the shadow of, the shadow of the the sun 02:35
Where I belong, girl, there's something coming on 02:38
I'm in the shadow of, the shadow of the the sun 02:43
Oh, and I need you 02:47
Chasing it, chasing it 02:50
I don't know what I'm chasing is 02:52
All I know is I've been craving it 02:54
Ever since I had a taste of it 02:56
Life is what you make of it 02:58
We're just here writing our own books 03:00
This is just a page of it 03:02
Before you wave your fingers at us 03:03
You better make sure your hands are clean 03:05
We all obey, our hands are tied 03:07
And I don't wanna have to leave 03:09
I don't wanna say goodbye 03:11
They say life is always easier when you come undone 03:13
When I go, you'll know where I've gone 03:17
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun 03:19
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun 03:35
Seizing time where no one's been before 03:38
Close the curtains, what you waiting for? 03:42
And I'll be keeping secrets 03:46
Till I'm in the ground 03:50

[English]
In The Shadow Of The Sun (Original Mix) - Professor Green Edit by Kain Records They say that life is always easier
After you let yourself come undone
They say they'll give you whatever you want
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun
Seizing time where no one's been before
Close the curtains, what you waiting for?
And I'll be keeping secrets
Till I'm in the ground
Keep your past your own, I don't care about before
I don't wanna know your secrets, I wanna help you keep yours
No one needs to, no one'll ever know what we do
Where we go, why don't we go to a place where only we know?
Where we escape from real life and it feels good and it feels nice
That we ain't yet but we still might
Cause we go with it if it feels right
And it feels... feels amazing
We ain't ready to see the day And I'll be waiting in the shadow of the sun
Seizing time where no one's been before
Close the curtains, what you waiting for?
And I'll be keeping secrets
And I'll be waiting in the shadow of the sun
Seizing time where no one's been before
Close the curtains, what you waiting for?
And I'll be keeping secrets
Till I'm in the ground
Let go of fear
This can be a secret that we both keep, that we both share
Hidden behind the smiles we both wear
As the sun creeps through the curtains
On the walls we become two silhouettes
As we close our eyes
Let go of the lies that fill our heads
Let's light it up, live life in the moment
Why would we worry about where we might end up?
They can't see us, they can't judge us, it's just us
They might wonder but only know where we go when the sun comes up
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun
Seizing time where no one's been before
Close the curtains, what you waiting for?
And I'll be keeping secrets
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun
Seizing time where no one's been before
Close the curtains, what you waiting for?
And I'll be keeping secrets
Till I'm in the ground
I'm in the shadow of, the shadow of the the sun
Where I belong, girl, there's something coming on
I'm in the shadow of, the shadow of the the sun
Oh, and I need you
Chasing it, chasing it
I don't know what I'm chasing is
All I know is I've been craving it
Ever since I had a taste of it
Life is what you make of it
We're just here writing our own books
This is just a page of it
Before you wave your fingers at us
You better make sure your hands are clean
We all obey, our hands are tied
And I don't wanna have to leave
I don't wanna say goodbye
They say life is always easier when you come undone
When I go, you'll know where I've gone
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun
And I’ll be waiting in the shadow of the sun
Seizing time where no one's been before
Close the curtains, what you waiting for?
And I'll be keeping secrets
Till I'm in the ground
