[Verse 1]
Kissing the stone wall where we once lay
Sends me to thinking of words I'd say
Missing your sweet lips, still so tongue-tied
Love's a word that I could say time and time again
Love's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain

[Verse 2]
Dragging me over the highest wall
Holding me tightly for fear I fall
How could I ever explain in words?
Hurt's a word that I could say time and time again
Hurt's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain

[Chorus]
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Still they're true

[Verse 2]
Singing your praises while you're with her
Foolishly patient for your return
Silent you left me, and silence stays
Pain's a word that I could say time and time again
Pain's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain
[Chorus]
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Still they're true

[Bridge]
Won't you wait and see
Won't you wait and see
Won't you wait and see
What I could say, what I should say, what I can say

[Chorus]
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Still they're true
