lyrics

Shallow heart
Shallow water
Push off the bottom
Float to each other
Shallow heart, shallow water, the years run dry
You can swim but she can fly, as your ship goes sailing by
She’ll be floating in the air, will she notice you down there?
Empty head
Empty bottle
Tip it back
She won’t follow
So learn how to swim while you are young, old men can’t tread water
She’ll be floating by one day, and you’ll be missing eachother
Let the water wash you clean for the years have left you fearful
Two as one can float on air, one alone’s a sinking vessel
Shallow heart
Shallow water
Push off the bottom
Float to each other
You can rise the surface – love can never hurt us
You can see the shore from here – swim
And you rise to the surface – love can never hurt us
You can see the shore from here; keep her safe – hold her near
Shallow heart
Shallow water
Earth is dry
Graves are hollow
Dive in first
She will follow
