Alex Buckley - The Deep End Lyrics

I sit upon the side, observe abyss from solid ground
The spark that shows the light, so bright when lit, I drop it down
Sweet symphony, the curtain calls, i'm tied undone
Weep sympathy, i'm not the only one

I'm more
Out of love than show-world singers
More out of touch than broken fingers
I clutch into the choking wind, it's
Not enough to show my sins
The pain inside my heart still lingers
As I try to play on broken strings, but
Afraid of what tomorrow brings cause it's another day without you in

And I thought I could be used to this
Still scabbing over all these years
The stabbing dulls, and no more tears
The darkness pulls without you here
We'll send you off with one last kiss, upon your head
Rest peacefully while i'm in pieces
Lessons learned, the earth still turns, the past is blurred, but you're still clear
Even from the Deep End

Even from the Deep End

I'm treading water, i'm not gone yet
I'm held down by the words that I should have said
There's answers in the ashes of this world
I drown in all that I have left
I call for help for those who wept
We're dead when talking to the dial tone

I'm more
Out of love than show-world singers
More out of touch than broken fingers
I clutch into the choking wind, it's
Not enough to show my sins
The pain inside my heart still lingers
I try to play on broken strings, but
Afraid of what tomorrow brings Cause it's another day without you in

And I thought I could be used to this
Still scabbing over all these years
The stabbing dulls, and no more tears
The darkness pulls without you here
We'll send you off with one last kiss, upon your head
Rest peacefully while i'm in pieces
Lessons learned, the earth still turns, the past is blurred
But You're still clear, even from the Deep End

Even from the Deep End

And from my mind I try to keep it
But I still drink myself to sleep
With you inside, you are my drive
You keep the fire in me alive
Take your advice, not get too Isolated, faded, in and out of changing shape
You'll never see the man I'll be, and I fear in case I let you down
Lose face and hit the ground Ruined
But I get back up, it's too important now
Let's do it, move forward and through it
Too young, too loud, too old to burn out
Before my time, I'll hear the sound
I'll walk on water before I drown
Lift up the sky, teach Icarus to fly
But not too high, he learned that side of burning bright
And it took him to the deep end

We all fall into the deep end sometimes

I'm more
Out of love than show-world singers
More out of touch than broken fingers
I clutch into the choking wind, it's
Not enough to show my sins
The pain inside my heart still lingers
I try to play on broken strings, but
Afraid of what tomorrow brings cause it's another day without you in

And I thought I could be used to this
Still scabbing over all these years
The stabbing dulls, and no more tears
The darkness pulls without you here
We'll send you off with one last kiss, upon your head
Rest peacefully while i'm in pieces
Lessons learned, the earth still turns, the past is blurred, but you're still clear

And I thought I could be used to this
Still scabbing over 14 years
The stabbing dulls, and no more tears
The darkness pulls without you here
And this pain that weighs the depths we're in
We lost so much more than we could win
We try to breathe, the choice within
Stuck underneath or learn to swim the Deep End

Swim The Deep End
