Shallow Means, Deep Ends Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tim Kasher]
Swimming at night
We've dug this hole
The water's fine
I wonder how far down it goes
Down it goes
Down it goes

[Verse 2: Tim Kasher]
The stars above
Have lost their shine
And so, my love
Departs our sight

[Ted Stevens]
The unending plains
Project a void
Where lovers gawk
In pantomime
So let me up!

[Chorus: Tim Kasher]
Shallow means, deep ends
When the regret sinks in
Pressure erupts
Which way is up?
[Verse 3: Tim Kasher]
Swimming at night
We've finally hit, hit

[Ted Stevens]
We've finally hit bottom!

[Tim Kasher]
Swallowing promises back into our lungs
Losing direction of our affections
All right!

[Chorus: Tim Kasher]
Shallow means, deep ends
When the regret sinks in
Pressure erupts
Which way is up?

[Outro]
Down it goes
Down it goes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
