The Deep Lyrics by ZZ Ward

The Deep

2017

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna let you in
'Cause I don't wanna let this thing in
Dirty karma never wins
But here are, back at it again

[Pre-Chorus]
When the lights out, when we're all alone
Won't you take me down with your touch of gold?

[Chorus]
Dreamin' while I'm wide awake
Don't know how much I can take
But I need it, can't leave it
'Cause you make me breathe in the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep end

[Verse 2]
Every night I, I give you up
Every time, I swear it's too much
But I ain't tryna say it's done
'Cause gettin' some is better than none

[Break]
Help me, I'm drowning
I can't stop, I'm going under
Come be the air my lungs

[Pre-Chorus]
When the lights out, when we're all alone
Won't you take me down with your touch of gold?

[Chorus]
Dreamin' while I'm wide awake
Don't know how much I can take
But I need it, can't leave it
'Cause you make me breathe in the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep end
Oh, the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep end

[Bridge]
Taking me under, you're taking me under
These covers I'm covered in, I can't recover

[Chorus]
Dreamin' while I'm wide awake
Don't know how much I can take
But I need it, can't leave it
'Cause you make me breathe in the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep
Whoa-ooh, the deep end
