Twelve Feet Deep
The Front Bottoms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll wear cool clothes that show some skin,
Flash a fake, so we'll both get in
Now we're dancing, we're so drunk
We are so cool, we are so punk
And yes, we can keep living like this.
As long as you're here I will live like this.
Since when did "I wanna hear your voice" not become a good excuse?
Calling you three in the morning, laugh at sleep that we'll both lose
Maybe college won't work out, I can come live at your house
I'm supposed to be at class now but my roommate just passed out
And I cannot get in my room, get all my books and what I need
You're all I need but I am pretty sure your parents will never see
I'll let it be, 'cause it was never meant to be
I'll let it be.
Because you are water twelve feet deep and I am boots made of concrete
We'll wear cool clothes that show some skin,
Flash a fake, so we'll both get in
Now we're dancing, we're so drunk
We are so cool, we are so punk
And yes, we can keep living like this.
As long as you're here I will live like this.
I get left out, I get left out of every plan they make
That is what I have to do
Be the only kid from school who is still in love with you
Maybe college won't work out, I can come live at your house
I'm supposed to be at class now but my roommate just passed out
And I cannot get in my room, get all my books and what I need
You're all I need but I am pretty sure your parents will never see
I'll let it be, 'cause it was never meant to be
Because you are water twelve feet deep and I am boots made of concrete
We'll wear cool clothes that show some skin,
Flash a fake, so we'll both get in
Now we're dancing, we're so drunk
We are so cool, we are so punk
And yes, we can keep living like this.
As long as you're here I will live like this.
In The Front Bottoms's song Twelve Feet Deep, the lyrics describe a tumultuous relationship between two people who are seemingly mismatched. The singer compares themselves to boots made of concrete, indicating that they feel stuck and weighed down, while the other person is described as "water twelve feet deep," which suggests a sense of depth and fluidity. Despite their differences, the two characters share a desire to fit in and be accepted, as evidenced by their choice to wear "cool clothes that show some skin" and "flash a fake" in order to get into a party. When they are together and drunk, though, they feel invincible and "so cool," even though they both seem to be struggling in their respective lives.
The singer is clearly infatuated with the other person, as evidenced by their willingness to overlook their current troubles and possibly drop out of college to live with them. They also seem to feel somewhat neglected by their other friends, as they mention being "left out of every plan they make." However, despite their devotion, the singer seems to understand that the relationship is unlikely to succeed in the long term - "I'll let it be, 'cause it was never meant to be" - but they are content to live in the moment as long as the other person is by their side.
Overall, Twelve Feet Deep is a melancholic, introspective song that explores the complications and contradictions of love and youth. The characters are flawed and uncertain, but they are also relatable in their struggles to find their place in the world.

I know we're not living the healthiest or most responsible lifestyle, but I'm willing to keep up with it if it means being with you.
Since when did "I wanna hear your voice" not become a good excuse? Calling you three in the morning, laugh at sleep that we'll both lose
I miss you and want to talk, even if it means waking you up at an inconvenient time. We joke about how our conversations always end up making us lose sleep.
Maybe college won't work out, I can come live at your house I'm supposed to be at class now but my roommate just passed out
I'm starting to doubt my future plans and hope to lean on you for support. My immediate responsibilities can wait as I deal with my roommate's drunkenness.
And I cannot get in my room, get all my books and what I need You're all I need but I am pretty sure your parents will never see
I can't access my study materials, but being with you is worth more than any textbook. However, I realize that your parents may not approve of our relationship.
I'll let it be, 'cause it was never meant to be
I'll accept whatever outcome comes from our relationship, knowing that some things just aren't meant to be.
I get left out, I get left out of every plan they make That is what I have to do Be the only kid from school who is still in love with you
I feel excluded from my social circle, but I'm willing to endure that to continue being in love with you.
