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
