Simple Minds

Sometimes I want to feel the back of my hand
No one get here understands
Never gonna be there what you say
How am I gonna get it
Shadows and light
Shadows and light

When I wanna call out what would I say
I don’t wanna be here anyway
Still searching tonight
Shadows and light
Shadows and light

Sometimes I want to feel the back of my hand
No one wants to be the one night stand
No ones gonna be there anyway
Hows it gonna figure
In the shadows and light
Shadows and light
In the shadows and light

Shadows and light

When I call out what would I say
I don’t wanna be here anyway
Still searching tonight
Shadows and light
Shadows and light
