lyrics

When trolly problems
Start runnin' at me all at once
And my hairline is plotting to be like Wallace Shawn's
When the leaves are through dropping off and fall is gone
I wanna feel what's solid you're someone I always called upon
It's hard now buddy
Playin different hands different karma different money
Not for any reasons I can see or conceive that would call for apologies
I just miss the days when you had more need for callin' me

If you're in the deep end
Then I'm in the deep end too
And it's not a weakness
To sink some days
And scream into the blue
Then pull your weight
In order to breathe in
I'll do the same
I won't be leavin'
Till I can leave with you

I'm good I guess
Well I'm holdin' up
This time of year I try to dodge the cold
And start holin up
Still ain't put my roots down yet
Though I'm old enough
Somewhere in between where you've flown
And fully stuck
Just showin up
Each day brings you new synchronicities
Another soul to love but to me there's no mystery
Shiny people find shiny people so interesting
I see Darwinism but you spin it more mystically
There's always someone smart and so charming
A spark something starting
I'm in the dark just recharging
Trying to hide what I'm guarding
I'll call you back after this sad sack sabbatical
When I can bring you laughter and meet you where it is magical

If you're in the deep end
Then I'm in the deep end too
And it's not a weakness
To sink some days
And scream into the blue
Then pull your weight
In order to breathe in
I'll do the same
I won't be leavin'
Till I can leave with you

You say I got Scorpio tendencies
I don't trust astrology
But that sign was meant for me
Something wicked in the type of intensity I repress
Cause gettin it off my chest reads offensively
What's it like being light on your feet
You've always been a sight where sore eyes find relief
I've always envied shine
When mine is at its weakest
I turn to you reachin'

If you're in the deep end
Then I'm in the deep end too
And it's not a weakness
To sink some days
And scream into the blue
