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.
You're watching the cars, movies and stars
They are your lifetime...
Yet all that I am is half what we are
Maybe some other time
I'll get it right
I'll get it right
Oh sweet voice on the phone
You sound so alone
'Cause you couldn't be wasted
Yet all that I ever was
To you I am
I'm less than a man
That slowly changes out of phase
And I don't know why it is
Its an ever changing simple thing that I miss...
While watching TV take in what you say
So you're death is painless
When all that I ever was returns again
I'm all that I am
And I'll get it right
When I get it right
'Cause I'll get it right
When I get it right
But I'm slowly changing out of phase
And I don't know why it is
It's an ever-changing simple thing that I know
But don't know why it is
That I'm longing for a sweet embrace, which I miss
