Shadows Lyrics

Cover art for Shadows lyrics by Yo La Tengo

this song to me means she can't take his word, so she just watches from the shadows his actions to see if they match up with his words and while in the shadows she sees that he does love her but still it's not enough because of the previous pain he's put on her. "so until I truly believe, that your words convey what you mean, I'll wait in the shadows."

could be totally wrong, but that's how i relate to it.
