Shilo (Live at the Greek Theatre, 2012) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Young child with dreams
Dream every dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone

[Chorus]
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn to the only friend you can find
There in your mind

[Verse 2]
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came and we'd play

[Pre-Chorus]
Counting the years
Keeping my dreams to myself
Till the young girl with fire
Made me trust somebody else

[Chorus]
Held my hand out, I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way
That she made me smile
She made me smile
[Verse 3]
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came and we'd play

[Interlude]
Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala

[Chorus]
Had a dream and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go' said she knows that I understand
I understand

[Outro]
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today, come today, come today
