Fred Eaglesmith - Shallow Lyrics

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
