Life speaks in colours that I don't know
Got stuck in the creases of the open road
With no clear beginning, nor bitter end
But it sure makes you tumble
It sure makes you bend

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

We're all so young, dumb, and beautiful
Watch us break our own hearts and taint our own souls
We build our rockets, fly to the moon
But I don't even know how to say I love you
No, I don't even know how to say I love you

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I guess we're still learning and that's ok
Take it minute by hour, by day by day
And I know it ain't easy to come back around
Oh, when life leaves you upside down like a frown
Saying life took me down by the river to drown

God save me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Deep water
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Deep water
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Deep water
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

We all want a stage to express our cries
Oh, but lately when I'm up there the light hurts my eyes
And I might take a breath, I think I need a pause
'Cause I can't hear myself in this deafening applause

And I call my mother on the telephone
Saying how'd you do it? Did you do it alone?
Try to go back to where it all began
To better understand the woman I am
Help me better understand the woman I am
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Deep water
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

When my time's done
Closure will come
I hope that I'm ready, hopefully done
Hope that I've loved in the way that you do
And I hope to accept my own bittersweet truths
Yes, I hope to accept my own bittersweet truths

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Deep water
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Life speaks in colours that I don't know
Got stuck in the creases of the open road
With no clear beginning, nor bitter end
But it sure makes you tumble
It sure makes you bend
