Deep Water Lyrics

Jewel

When you find yourself falling down
Your hopes in the sky but your heart like grape gum on the ground
And you try to scrape yourself up
But you keep seeping out like cheap gin through a broken cup
And you try to find yourself
In the abstractions of religion and the cruelty of everyone else
And when youre standing in deep water
And youre bailing yourself out with a straw
When youre drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well its these little times that help to remind
Its nothing without love
Love, love, its nothing without love
Its nothing without love
When you realize your only friend
Has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end
And you wake up to see all your dreams have been compromised
Our standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
Thats when suddenly everything fades or falls away
Cause the chains which once held us are only the chains which weve
Made
We sacrifice our pride, compromised our health
We must demand more, not of each other, but more from ourselves
Cause when youre standing in deep water
And youre bailing yourself out with a straw
When youre drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well its these little times that help to remind
Its nothing without love
Love, love, its nothing without love
Its nothing without love
