"Deep Water" lyrics

Deep Water

You find yourself
Falling down
Your hopes in the sky
But you heart like grape gum on the ground
And you try to find yourself
In the abstractions of religion
And the cruelty of everyone else
And you wake up to realize
Your standard of living
Somehow got stuck on survive

When you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
And when you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times
That help to remind
It's nothing without love

You wake up to realize your only friend
Has never been yourself
Or anybody who cared in the end
That's when everything fades or falls away
Cause the chains which once held us
Are only the chains which we've made

When you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
And when you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times
That help to remind
It's nothing without love
Love, love
It's nothing without love

We've compromised our pride
And sacrificed out health
We have to demand more
Not from each other
But more from ourselves

Cause when you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
When you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times
That help to remind
It's nothing without love
Love, love
It's nothing without love
It's nothing without love

Nothing without love
Without love
Nothing without love
Without love
Nothing without love
Without love
Nothing without love
Without love
