Shallow waters
Just Jinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tomorrow
And I don't know
Why
There's something
That's not right with my soul
I have no goal
I'm leaving shallow waters
I'm leaving all my dreams of you
I can't go on
I want to run away
I think I'll go today
Tomorrow
It won't help me at all
It won't help me at all
There's something
That I told you and
You don't know
That it's true
Oh, that it's true now
I'm leaving shallow waters
I'm leaving all my dreams of you
I can't go on
I want to run away
I'm leaving shallow waters
All my dreams of you
I can't go on
I want to run away
Run away
I think I'll go today
'Cause you know, tomorrow
It won't help me at all
It won't help me at all
Shallow waters
Oh, my dreams of you
I can't go on
I'm leaving shallow waters
