lyrics

Before you came in to my life indulgence was my map
With you I only understood the poverty of what I had
Now those insecurities have drifted clear away
The shadow of uncertainty has gone and it kept me at bay

But I can't swim to save my life
Though I might try if I could reach your island

You've taken me from where unkind opinions chipped away
Now I don't really care to much what anybody says
The button hole of my life where I pulled through all my dreams
Turned out to be fragile without you was ripping at the seams

And I can't sew to save my life
Now it might show but I would dress your silence
And I can't swim to save my life
Though I might try if I could reach your island

Deep deep water. All this deep deep water
Love is deep deep water. All this deep deep water

To some it seems so easy just to give their hearts away
But I find it so difficult and who knows who's to blame
The picture I've been working on for years with such intent
Has not begun to show the only thing I want to represent

'cause I can't paint to save my life
Though I would try if I could catch your likeness
And I can't swim to save my life
Though I might try if I could reach your island
