Shallow (Closer Than the Angels) Lyrics by Digital Summer

Counting the Hours

2010

[Verse One]
You live and die
By your emotions
By the why you cry
It must feel like an ocean
And I'm sorry I'm not better
At being there for you
I try but underneath this skin
I'm in pieces too
And this
Is all that's left of me?
But I give it all to you
[Chorus]
Until the oceans are shallow
Until the rain doesn't fall
And the wind won't blow
I give you my heart to control
You make me feel like
I'm closer to god than the angels
[Verse Two]
I barely hold it together
You're the medicine I need
Now seconds feel like forever
Without you next to me
And my head buried in my hands
Like a shell hiding this broken man
I've stopped trying to understand
Why you're so damn good to me
And this
Is all that's left of me?
But I give it all to you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Than the angels
You're the one who saved me
You never blamed me
I confess I'm broken at best
You're my chauffeur, savior, and goddess
[Chorus]
(Until the oceans are shallow)
You guide me just like an angel (I give you my heart to control)
You want to save me never blame me
You're too damn good to me (Until the oceans are shallow)
You make me feel like I'm closer to god than the angels (I give you my heart to control)
