Play in the Shallows Lyrics by Alisa

BOUNDARIES -SET B-

2022

[Verse 1]
I cried a river, lay flat on my floor
The sun sank down, my shadow stretched to the door
Not reason in sight, maybe I'm just bored
Good are the days I don't have time for thought
[Pre-Chorus]
So I paint on a smile with tears that I cried
Tomorrow I'll believe in my own lies
[Chorus]
Let's break the ice, but not look too deep
'Cause under the surface there is too much to see
Play in the shallows, drown in our drinks
'Cause you don't want to know what's lurking beneath
[Post-Chorus]
Play in the shallows
Why don't we play in the shallows?
Play in the shallows, play with me
Play in the shallows
[Verse 2]
We're safе in numbers, everyonе pretends
When we're together, it's almost like we're friends
Numbing the woes that we never learned to face
Praying that somehow they'll just go away
[Pre-Chorus]
So I paint on a smile with tears that I cried
Tomorrow I'll believe in my own lies
[Chorus]
Let's break the ice, but not look too deep
'Cause under the surface there is too much to see
Play in the shallows, drown in our drinks
'Cause you don't want to know what's lurking beneath
[Post-Chorus]
Play in the shallows
Why don't we play in the shallows?
Play in the shallows, play with me
Play in the shallows
[Bridge]
Painted smile hurts my cheeks
Feigned interest killing me
Painted smile hurts my cheeks
I'm ready to leave
[Chorus]
Let's break the ice, but not look too deep
'Cause under the surface there is too much to see
Play in the shallows, drown in our drinks
'Cause you don't want to know what's lurking beneath
Play with me
[Post-Chorus]
Play in the shallows
Why don't we play in the shallows?
Play in the shallows, play with me
Play in the shallows
[Outro]
Play in the shallows (In the shallows)
Play in the shallows
Play in the shallows (Play with me)
Play in the shallows
