Lyrics

Deep Down (you're so shallow)


It's so shallow in your wading pool
With your love of the deep-end a subliminal tool
To guard against what's real, to guard against the drown
No promises to keep afloat, the truth gets watered down
If you dive a little deeper you might even hit the ground
You look for love that wants to sleep here, but if only deep down...

Deep down
I've waited all my life
To take you down
And hold you all my time
I know now, somehow the vows we make
Deep down, it never goes away

It's so shallow in your mating game
You look for perfect little answers but the questions all remain
While you're refinishing the surface can you polish up the shine
Are you something to reflect on or just a flaw in the design
'Cause when you wipe away the residue of what's been lost and found
You should reach a little deeper and keep digging deep down

Deep down
I've waited all my life
To wake you down
And show you all my time
I know now, somehow the vows we make
Deep down, never go away

It's so shallow in your peyton place
Is it a curable condition or a terminal case
I found you criticizing hemingway while quoting from voltaire
Will you be getting to the point soon or just coming up for air
You're so deep in conversation i can barely hear a sound
I just need some indication that there's something deep down

Deep down
I've waited all my life
To take you down
And hold you all my time
I know now, somehow the vows we make
Deep down, never go away
