Fred Eaglesmith

Shallow

Well look at how you're being

Now that you've gone off the deep end

Look at how you're being

To me and nearly all my friends

You told all the secrets

You promised everybody you would keep

I could be that shallow too

If only I wasn't in so deep

Along the dust of silence

Imaginary beggars call you knight

And your telephone doesn't ring

But you keep it off the hook just the same

And you lie awake at night

Pretending that you just can't get to sleep

I could be that shallow too

If only I wasn't in so deep

I seen your only house

Behind that brand new subdivision

I stood behind you in line

While you agonized over your decision

And your choice has turned out to be the same

As all the others, shitty

I could be that shallow too

If only I wasn't in so deep

I could be that shallow too

If only I wasn't in so deep

I could be that shallow too

If I really wanted to

I could do what you do

I could be that shallow too

I could be that shallow too

If I really wanted to

I could do what you do

I could be that shallow too

I could be that shallow too

If I really wanted to

I could do what you do

I could be that shallow too

I could be that shallow too

If I really wanted to

I could do what you do

I could be that shallow too

I could be that shallow too
