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.

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.

Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Still they're true.

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.

Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Still they're true.

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.

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.
