Deep Water

Life speaks in colours that I don't know Got stuck in the creases of the open road With no clear beginning, nor bitter end But it sure makes you tumble It sure makes you bend Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh We're all so young, dumb, and beautiful Watch us break our own hearts and taint our own souls We build our rockets, fly to the moon But I don't even know how to say "I love you" No, I don't even know how to say "I love you" Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh I guess we're still learning and that's ok Take it minute by hour by day by day And I know it ain't easy to come back around Oh, when life leaves you upside down like a frown Saying life took me down by the river to drown God save me (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Deep water (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Deep water (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Deep water (Oh, oh, oh, oh) We all want a stage to express our cries Oh, but lately when I'm up there the light hurts my eyes And I might take a breath, I think I need a pause 'Cause I can't hear myself in this deafening applause And I call my mother on the telephone Saying how'd you do it? Did you do it alone? Try to go back to where it all began To better understand the woman I am Help me better understand the woman I am (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Deep water (Oh, oh, oh, oh) When my time's done closure will come I hope that I'm ready, hopefully done Hope that I've loved in the way that you do And I hope to accept my own bittersweet truths Yes, I hope to accept my own bittersweet truths (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Deep water (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Life speaks in colours that I don't know Got stuck in the creases of the open road With no clear beginning, nor bitter end But it sure makes you tumble It sure makes you bend
