Lyrics Sondre Lerche

Sondre Lerche

Don't Be Shallow

Forcin' my way out of sleep

I inhale the smell of spring and greens

And bucketloads of bees

The migraine's been all over me

The softest meadow would've cracked my head

I'm easily mislead

And you're standin' in my way

So give yourself a pair of hands today

My words to you are fake

Now you are my mistake

And I am yours

Don't be shallow

Don't be cheap

She prays for you to grow up

Patiently

Don't be selfish

Nor unmanaged

You're all I want and nothing more

But that's not good enough

No, no that's not good enough

Trouble at the hardware store

A funky foreign bodies interfere

We like you don't come near

But all that seems a waste of time

When you are sent to take the final test

In the solemn quest

She'll tell you to stand and watch

The violent fields that pray so much

Their ears are falling from the sky

Well most of them now hide and

I am yours

Don't be shallow

Don't be cheap

She prays for you to grow up patiently

Don't be selfish

Nor unmanaged

You're all i want and nothing more

But that's not good enough

No, no that's not good enough

She'll tell you to stand and watch

The violent fields that pray so much

Their ears are falling from the sky

Well most of them now hide and

I am yours

Don't be shallow

Don't be cheap

She prays for you to grow up patiently

Don't be selfish

Nor unmanaged

You're all i want and nothing more

But that's not good enough

No, no that's not good enough

Oh, no that's not good enough
