Lyrics

Shallow

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I walk around everyday

With my head above the darkness

The storm below

I just can't face it

So I don't

You say I don't care at all

But if you only knew

At night all the sleep I lose

Over what I can't change

You don't understand that this world's too cold

And my skin's not thick

It's too thin

In an ocean that's as big as this

It's hard to stay afloat, not sink

I think I might just sink

So I need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't fall too deep

In water I can't tame

'Cos that's the only way I know

How to stay breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

I just stay in the shallow

The world can be a scary place

And it can tear you up if you let it

So I had to learn to forget it the hard way

Oh, you don't understand that this world's too cold

And my skin's not thick

It's too thin

In an ocean that's as big as this

It's hard to stay afloat, not sink

I think I might just sink

So I need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't fall too deep

In water I can't tame

'Cos that's the only way that I know

How to stay breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

I just stay in the shallow

Need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't fall too deep

In water I can't tame

'Cos that's the only way I know

How to stay breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

I just stay in the shallow

Need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't fall too deep

In water I can't tame

'Cos that's the only way I know

How to stay breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

So I need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't fall too deep

In water I can't tame

'Cos that's the only way I know

How to stay breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

I just stay in the shallow
