Shadows and Wishes
deep house, 116 BPM, 90s club, jazzy Rhodes chords, syncopated sub-bass, four-on-the-floor kick, shuffled closed hats, warm drum bus saturation, tape delay stabs, sidechain pumping, wide stereo pads, filtered breakdowns, lift-and-drop arrangement, late-night groove, sensual momentum

Lyrics
Verse
Under the cloudy moon I sigh
Heart beats louder when she walks by
Her laugh's the spark I can’t ignore
But courage slips
I ask for more
Verse 2
I dream of words I’ll never say
Staring down at my shoes all day
Her beauty’s fire my soul does burn
Will she notice I wait my turn
Chorus
Look at meeeeee
Am I just a shadow to your light
Can’t you seeeee
My soul’s screaming deep into the night
Verse 3
She holds the world I can’t embrace
A universe within her face
If I could speak I’d let it flow
But fear's the anchor I can’t let go
Bridge
Behind this silence there’s a storm
A love waiting to be born
But I fade smaller every glance
If only I could take the chance
Chorus
Look at meeeeee
Am I just a shadow to your light
Can’t you seeeee
My soul’s screaming deep into the night
