Shallow
More in my faceThan is my tasteI grow so weary I'll surrender
To what they sayLet them lead the wayTill' I can no longer remember
My darling dreamsPrewritten scenesWhatever felt my own
So to save faceI'll take my placeWhere I may safely feel alone
Glad the waters are so shallowWhen the river runs so cold
I'm quick to waitToo slow to takeThey call me gracious for my patience
And I feel proudUnder that shroudAnd all the while it's all evasion
Some humor hereTo fend off fearAnd I'm a little more lost, oh dear
So to save faceI'll hold my placeSo I may safely feel alone...
