Deep Water
Landon McNamara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stay up late and rise up early too with the morning dew
The sun is shining so I′m on my way trying to find something new
Even when I'm lost I′m knowing right where I'm going
Well life's an ocean, ocean of emotions
And I′m just floating

′Cause I'm in that deep water
And I – I gotta get away
′Cause you know I'm in that deep, deep water
Searching now for my get away

Yes, I′m in that deep water
And I – I gotta get away
'Cause you know I′m in that deep, deep water
Searching now for my get away

Ocean of emotions better learn to sway
Got so many of 'em I'm gonna fall victim
Good riddance
′Cause you know it′s all fun and games and games and fun
Until the others fallin' for

The worlds going down so I learn to fly
They don′t appreciate their life until it's time to die
Really, really wanna know why we even try
For the pain, for the love, or just for the high

′Cause I'm in that deep water
And I – I gotta get away
′Cause you know I'm in that deep, deep water
Searching now for my get away

Yes, I'm in that deep water
And I – I gotta get away
′Cause you know I′m in that deep, deep water
Searching now for my get away

'Cause I′m in that deep water
And I – I gotta get away
'Cause you know I′m in that deep water
Searching now for my get away
'Cause you know I′m in that deep water

And I gotta get away
'Cause you know I'm in that deep, deep water




Searching now for my get away
To my higher place

Me levanto tarde y me levanto temprano, también, en el rocío de la mañana
El sol está brillando, así que estoy en camino tratando de encontrar algo nuevo
Incluso cuando estoy perdido, sé exactamente a dónde voy
Bueno, eso es un océano, un océano de emociones y solo estoy flotando

[Coro]
Porque estoy en esas aguas profundas y ahora me tengo que ir
Porque sabes que estoy en esas aguas profundas buscando ahora mi escapada
Sí, estoy en esas aguas profundas y ahora me tengo que ir
Porque sabes que estoy en esas aguas profundas buscando ahora mi escapada

[Parte II]
Océano de emociones, mejor aprende a nadar
Tengo tantos de ellos, voy a ser víctima, adiós
Porque sabes que todo es diversión y juegos y juegos y diversión
Hasta que el otro se enamore
El mundo está cayendo, así que aprendo a volar
Entonces aprecio la vida hasta que es hora de morir
Realmente me pregunto por qué lo intentamos
Por el dolor, por el amor, o simplemente por lo alto

[Coro]
Porque estoy en esas aguas profundas y ahora me tengo que ir
Porque sabes que estoy en esas aguas profundas buscando ahora mi escapada
Sí, estoy en esas aguas profundas y ahora me tengo que ir
Porque sabes que estoy en esas aguas profundas buscando mi escapada ... Porque estoy en esas aguas profundas y ahora me tengo que ir
Porque sabes que estoy en esas aguas profundas buscando ahora mi escapada
Sí, estoy en esas aguas profundas y ahora me tengo que ir
Porque sabes que estoy en esas aguas profundas buscando ahora mi escapada
