Shallow

You're watching the cars, movies and stars

They are your lifetime...

Yet all that I am is half what we are

Maybe some other time

I'll get it right

I'll get it right



Oh sweet voice on the phone

You sound so alone

'Cause you couldn't be wasted

Yet all that I ever was

To you I am

I'm less than a man



That slowly changes out of phase

And I don't know why it is

Its an ever changing simple thing that I miss...



While watching TV take in what you say

So you're death is painless

When all that I ever was returns again

I'm all that I am



And I'll get it right

When I get it right

'Cause I'll get it right

When I get it right



But I'm slowly changing out of phase

And I don't know why it is

It's an ever-changing simple thing that I know

But don't know why it is

That I'm longing for a sweet embrace, which I miss
