Shallow heart, shallow water
Push off the bottom float to each other
Shallow heart, shallow water
The years run dryYou can swim but she can fly
As your ship goes sailing by
Shell be floating in the air
Will she notice you down there?Empty head, empty bottle
Tip it back she wont follow
Shallow heart, shallow water
The years run drySo learn to swim while you are young
Old men cant tread water
Shell be floating by one day
And youll be missing each otherLet the water wash you clean
For the years have left you fearful
Two as one can float on air
One alone is a sinking vesselShallow heart, shallow water
Earth is dry graves are hollow
Shallow heart, shallow water
The years run dryYou can rise to the surface
Love can never hurt us
You can see the shore from here swim
And you rise to the surfaceLove can never hurt us
Trade the water for the air
Keep her safe, hold her nearShallow heart, shallow water
Push of the bottom, float to each other
Shallow heart, shallow water
Dive in first, she will followShallow heart, shallow water
Push off the bottom, float to each other
Shallow heart, shallow water
Years run dry, years run dry, years run dry
