Dark moon levy road
Weighed down in broken souls
Black water on both sides
Nowhere to turn around
Cruel words bad joke
Tread water till you can’t float
Gotta know that she’s the one
And how deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
Red lips, blue heart
On the shore and torn apart
Can’t see beyond the light
And that’s not very far
Swam out against the tide
In between the truth and lies
Gonna see where this love comes from
And how deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
Old fears won’t leave
Staring back at you and me
Let go and hold on
Too late and too far gone
Out here without a boat
How was I supposed to know
I’ll tell you when it’s done
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
