In Deep
Rebecca's Empire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

An affair to remember
Is that the best that I can get
Sign on your heart
It reads to let
An indefinite space
I inhabit these days
When I'm lost
And thoughts of you erased

Love is always measured in loss
I fought for love against a bitter cross
It's a change
Well it's in your face
You put our love in some bad place
Swollen eyes when tears refuse to stop
A different image running
Between rain drops
I'm in deep
All those love stories you can keep
Now I'm in deep
Well I
I hit the floor
Yeah I drink some wine
Remember the touch of your skin on mine
Shifting ground and moving on
Me in the background
Where you've just run from
Love is always measured in loss
I fought for love against a bitter cross
I'm in deep
All those love stories well you can keep

Now I'm in deep
I'm in deep
