Deep End
Daughtry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm underwater and I'm on fire
There's nothing wilder than my heart
Just let the current set it in motion
Then nothing can keep us apart

We're all swimming into the light
I want you by my side
And I'm right here waiting for you
Right here waiting for you
We're all living on borrowed time
I've been holding my breath all night
Waiting for you

I'm diving into the deep end
And I'm not scared, I'm not scared
And I've been way over my head
And I'm not scared, I'm not scared, no

I am an island, you are an ocean
I wanna float here in your arms
High as a mountain, deep in devotion
There's nothing wilder than your heart

We're all swimming into the light
I want you by my side
And I'm right here waiting for you
Right here waiting for you
We're all living on borrowed time
I've been holding my breath all night
Waiting for you

And now I'm diving into the deep end
And I'm not scared, I'm not scared
And I've been way over my head
And I'm not scared, I'm not scared, no

I'd follow you straight to the bottom
Not afraid, hell or high water
I wanna dive into you
I'd follow you straight to the bottom
Not afraid, hell or high water
I wanna dive into you

I'm underwater
And I'm on fire

And now I'm diving into the deep end
And I'm not scared, I'm not scared
And I've been way over my head
And I'm not scared, I'm not scared, no

I'd follow you straight to the bottom
Not afraid, hell or high water
I wanna dive into you
I'd follow you straight to the bottom




Not afraid, hell or high water
I wanna dive into you

Awesome comeback song for Daughtry, I think it's one of the very few bands left who actually make meaningful songs still at this day n age and not afraid of being true to themselves, not thinking about being extremely successful by doin what every other artist is doing these days and that's what makes them special ... Respect!!

Amanda Teal

Still the best male voice ever. Such clarity and emotion. Love it!!!!

anthony johnson

I don't know about the best voice ever, but he doesn't fuck around

Amanda Teal

@anthonyjohnson9403  after hearing everyone live he is the best. Studio snipits are 1 thing bit live...no one matches him vocally

anthony johnson

@Amanda Teal Respect. 🐱

anthony johnson

@Amanda Teal I agree Amanda. Live is where it's at. Pretty sure I'm a bit older than you, and I've heard seriously great voices over the years from heart wrenching soul to hard as nails rock and much, much in between. I don't know much about Daughtry live, but his recorded voice suggest the real deal. But it's hard for me to say anyone is the best male or female. There's brilliance all over the music world, past, present and no doubt the future. I'll say he's up there though. Most importantly, you know what you like and you know good music when you hear it, and I can talk to music lovers all day long. So I respect your opinion. Happy listening forever 🎹🎷🎺🎸🪕🎻🪘🥁
