In Too Deep
Sum 41 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The faster we're falling
We're stopping and stalling
We're running in circles again
Just as things were looking up
You said it wasn't good enough
But still we're trying one more time

Maybe we're just trying to hard
When really it's closer than it is too far

'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
Up above in my head, instead of going under
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
Up above in my head, instead of going under
'Stead of going under

Seems like each time
I'm with you I loose my mind
Because I'm bending over backwards to relate
It's one thing to complain
But when you're driving me insane
Well then I think it's time that we took a break

Maybe we're just trying to hard
When really it's closer than it is too far

'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
Up above in my head, instead of going under
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
Up above in my head, instead of going under
'Stead of going under
'Stead of going under
'Stead of going under

I can't sit back and wonder why
It took so long for this to die
And I hate it when you fake it
You can't hide it you might as well embrace it
So believe me it's not easy
It seems that something's telling me

I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
Up above in my head, instead of going under
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
Up above in my head, instead of going under
Stead of going under

Instead of going under again
Instead of going under
'Stead of going under again
'Stead of going under again
'Stead of going under again

Overall Meaning

Though things often feel like they're stalled or deteriorating, the band is determined to make it work and give it another shot. The chorus states that they are "in too deep" and trying to keep their heads above water. Despite their best efforts, the relationship is causing them to lose their minds and driving them insane. They feel like they're bending over backward to try to make things work and they're reaching a breaking point. Ultimately, they're trying to keep themselves from going under and instead keep their heads above water.


The lyrics suggest that the couple may be trying too hard to make their relationship work when, in reality, it's closer than they think. The phrase "in too deep" implies that they may be too invested in the relationship and are struggling to keep it alive. The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes this idea.
