Story Behind The Song
Just poking fun at how some people fall in love with a personality type, then when the commitment gets deep--like marriage--the object of desire changes into a stranger. I have seen it, and sort of lived it.

Lyrics
She casts a shadow of conceit
And yet she knocks me off my feet & on my knees
She's up there where the air is sweet
Without her I am incomplete & on my knees
Chorus 1: I am boxing with her shadow and it knocks me out
Maybe I belong inside her shadow; she's what I'm all about
I guess I felt this way before
2+2 used to equal 4 not anymore
Several times I've emptied out the top drawer
I have crawled across the floor toward the front door
(1/2) Chorus 2: I am lost inside her shadow and there is no way out
I have lost my way; yesterday is every day
Like the weather things must change; like the freeway I need the fast lane
Chorus 3: I am dancing on her shadow; there still is no way out
Maybe I belong inside her shadow; I'm what she's all about
She casts a shadow of deceit
That is how she keeps me on my knees...
