[Verse 1 - Jack Antonoff, Carly Rae Jepsen, both]
There are some girls
Some girls they really just want to hurt you
And there's some boys
Some boys who'll laugh when they break your heart
But how love dies is a place that I'm not going
And we could try, cause

[Chorus - Both]
If you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow
And if you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow

[Verse 2 - Jack Antonoff, Carly Rae Jepsen, ]
There are those girls
Those girls that are waiting by the phone on the weekend
Oh yeah, like those boys, those boys that are home with the broken hearts
But the heart wants fear
So we're looking for a villain
I'll be there

[Chorus - Both, Jack Antonoff]
If you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow
And if you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow
When the lights go down
I will stand right beside you
And if you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow!

[Bridge - Jack Antonoff, Carly Rae Jepsen, both]
And I know that they have hurt you
And I know the love you gave feels cheap and used
And I know it's getting harder
And I know the lights have all gone dark on you
Still I will love your shadow
When the lights have all gone dark on you
Yes I will love your shadow
When the lights have all gone dark on you
How love dies is a place that I'm not going
And we could try...

[Chorus - Both]
If you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow
And if you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow
When the lights go down
I will stand right beside you
And if you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow
I'll love your shadow

The so-called “80s-nostalgia” indie pop artist Bleachers infuses modern electronica with stylistic elements of the 80s. Headed by Jack Antonoff of Steel Train and Fun. fame, the band’s music is deeply personal, emotive, and lyrically evocative.

Their debut album Strange Desire was released July 10th, 2014, and was mostly written by Antonoff throughout his tour with fun. A very visceral, realized album that addresses death, memory, self-image, and spontaneity, among other themes, Desire showed the world the great potential Bleachers has to become the next pop act to become a household name.

After an EP featuring new versions of Like A River Runs and an album of Desire’s songs covered by female artists in the same vein of the final Steel Train album, the group returned with Gone Now. It featured many of the same themes as the first album.
