DEEP WATER

 

You find yourself falling down

Your hopes in the sky

But your heart like grape gum on the ground

And you try to find yourself

In the abstraction of religion and the cruelty of everyone else

And you wake up to realise

Your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive

 

CHORUS When you're standing in deep water

And you're bailing yourself out with a straw

And when you're drowning in deep water

And you wake up making love to a wall

Well it's these little times that help to remind

It's nothing without love

 

You realise your only friend

Has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end

That's when everything fades and falls away

'Cos the chains which once held us are only the chains which we've made

 

CHORUS

 

Love, love

It's nothing without love

 

BRIDGE We've compromised our pride

And sacrificed our health

We must demand more not from each other

But more from ourselves

 

CHORUS

 

Love, love

It's nothing without love, love

It's nothing without love

Without love, without love

Nothing without love, without love

(repeat to fade)
