Life speaks in colours that I don't know
Got stuck in the creases of the open road
With no clear beginning nor a bitter end
But it sure makes you tumble, it sure makes you bend
We're all so young, dumb and beautiful
Watch us break our own hearts and taint our own souls
We build our rockets, fly to the moon
But I don't even know how to say I love you
No, I don't even know how to say I love you
Guess we're still learning and that's okay
Take it minute by hour by day by day
And I know it ain't easy to come back around
Oh, when life leaves you upside down like a frown
Saying life took me down by the river to drown
God save me
Deep water
Deep water
Deep water
We all want a stage to express our cries
Oh, but lately when I'm up there, the light hurts my eyes
And I might take a breath, I think I need a pause
'Cause I can't hear myself in this deafening applause
And I call my mother on the telephone
Saying how'd you do it, did you do it alone?
I try to go back to where it all began
To better understand the woman I am
Help me better understand the woman I am
Deep water
When my time is done, closure will come
I hope that I'm ready, hopefully done
Hope that I've loved in the way that you do
And I hope to accept my own bittersweet truths
Yes, I hope to accept my own bittersweet truths
Deep water
Life speaks in colours that I don't know
Got stuck in the creases of the open road
With no clear beginning nor a bitter end
