Deep Water
by Jewel Kilcher
When 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 abstractions of religion
And the cruelty of everyone else
And you wake up to realize
Your standard of living
Somehow got stuck on survive
And 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
When you realize your only friend
Has never been yourself or anyone
Who cared in the end
That's when suddenly everything
Fades or falls away
Cause the chains which once held us
Are only the chains which we've made
Cause when you're standing
In deep water
And you're bailing yourself
Out with a straw
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, love, love
It's nothing without love
We've compromised our pride
We've sacrificed our health
We must demand more
Not from each other
But more from ourselves
Cause when you're standing
In deep water
And you're bailing yourself
Out with a straw
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, love, love
It's nothing without love
It's nothing without love
