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.
Are you biting your tongue? or riding on your tights?
It's hard to discern if it's just a state of mind
All these second chances get another problem off your chest
Know not where you go or where you've been
Give in to love it's the one thing we have
Hold out your laugh, see the beauty within
I know the way that you won't make a fuss
Don't mean there's no pain
So they say
There must be more to life than this
No mistaking happiness
There is more to life than this
Through the days and nights we drift
Are you biding your time? or sinking in the shallows?
It's hard to describe, I might never know
Always heard you got shit for brains
Move your body in a thousand ways
I know it's in your nature to explore
Give in to love it's the one thing we have
Hold out your laugh see the beauty within
I know the way but you won't be the first
Don't mean there's no pain
So they said
There must be more to life than this
That's what you say
No mistaking happiness
There is more to life than this
Through the days and nights we drift
in the distant fantasy
there will be no place for us
I heard you say
There must be more to life than this
That's what you say
No mistaking happiness
There is more to life than this
