[Spoken Intro]
So just roll the whole first verse again
Count me in
1 2 3 4
[Verse]
Was that awkward to you
Or was it me that feels this way
We have so much in common
But you have nothing to say
It's just like Otis wrote down
And what Aretha sang
Respect is all I want from
But I don't feel it today
[Chorus]
Living in the shadow of a genius
Oh we got 500 miles between us
Play the same game but they've never seen us
Together on the same team
I know that my lights well they shine real bright
The shadow from yours can be dark as the night
I'm still your biggest fan
[Verse]
Some play for the love of the game
And others they dream of the wealth and the fame
The reason that I started
Is just not quite the same
As a kid I watched you
Practicing all day
And all I ever hoped for
Was to play with you someday
[Chorus]
Instead I'm living in the shadow of a genius
Oh we got 500 miles between us
Play the same game but they've never seen us
Together on the same team
I know that my lights well they shine pretty bright
The shadow from yours can be dark as the night
I'm still your biggest fan
I'm still your biggest fan
[Bridge]
Don't get me wrong I know I have nothing to offer
But sometimes I wonder if blood is really thicker than water
Look at your son, look at your daughter
30 years from now will they know one another?
[Verse]
They always come to see you
No matter what it takes
And tell me man we'd love to see you play
But we can't stay out that late
Toss me a lifeline I'm sinking fast
I guess I still haven't learned how to swim
They say we saw your brother on TV
Hey man, why aren't you up there with him
[Chorus]
Living in the shadow of a genius
Oh we got 500 miles between us
Play the same game but they've never seen us
Together on the same team
I know that my light well it shines pretty bright
But the shadow from you can be dark as the night
I'm still your biggest fan (living in the shadow of a genius)
I'm still your biggest fan (living in the shadow of a genius)
I'm still your biggest fan (living in the shadow of a genius)
