lyrics

(shallow water)

I told you I could swim and I said it very confidently
And the shelf drops off about four metres from the rocks
And I have been treading water since about February
Smiling at you from a place where I cannot touch the bottom

And I am not going to say it
Because saying it means you would have to do something
And you might do the wrong thing and then I would know

Shallow water, shallow water
You said it was shallow water and it is over my head
Shallow water, shallow water
And I am fine, I am fine, I am absolutely fine

You swim like somebody who grew up near a lake
Easy, unbothered, not once looking back to check

Shallow water, shallow water
You said it was shallow water and it is over my head
Shallow water, shallow water
And I am fine, I am fine, I am absolutely fine

(over my head)
