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
