Shallow Songtext
von Fred Eaglesmith

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 of my friends
You've 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 dusty sidewalks
Imaginary beggars call you now
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′ve seen your lonely house
Inside that brand new subdivision
I stood behind you in line
While you agonized over your decision


And your choices turned out to be
The same as all the others sheep
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
