Shallow heart, shallow water
Push off the bottom
Float to each other
Shallow heart, shallow water
The years run dry
You can swim but she can fly
As your ship goes sailing by
She'll be floating in the air
Will she notice you down there?
Empty head, empty bottle
Tip it back
She won't follow
Shallow heart, shallow water
The years run dry
So learn to swim while you are young
Old men can't tread water
She'll be floating by one day
And you'll be missing each other
Let the water wash you clean
For the years have left you fearful
Two as one can float on air
One alone's a sinking vessel
Shallow heart, shallow water
Earth is dry
Grave's are hollow
Shallow heart, shallow water
The years run dry
You can rise to the surface
Love can never hurt us
You can see the shore from here swim
And you rise to the surface
Love can never hurt us
Trade the water for the air
Keep her safe-hold her near
Shallow heart, shallow water
Push of the bottom, float to each other
Shallow heart, shallow water
Dive in first, she will follow
Shallow heart, shallow water
Push off the bottom
Float to each other
Shallow heart, shallow water
Years run dry
Years run dry
Years run dry
