Court Saunders - Shallow Lyrics

I laid down a path for you
Did my best to guide your roots
Tried to plant seeds for your life
Then everything blossomed up around me
Blooming through the canopy
All the creatures flew on high
Oh, this is our life
Just don't drink from my waters too much
Or else the pool grows shallow
My heart will grow shallow
Life will grow shallow and dry
I bubble through a stones
Debris that you've thrown into me
I try to pick up my tide
Your creatures stole away my flow
And now I have nowhere that I can go to
Should exit's happenstance coincide
Oh, this is our life
Just don't drink from my waters too much
Or else the pool grows shallow
My heart will grow shallow
Life will grow shallow and dry
And yet it's here
The writing on the wall
The creatures once so small abandon me
Your roots, your touch
They crumble into dust
As my shallows become a distant memory
Oh, this is goodbye
You drank from my waters too much
And now the pool's grown shallow
My heart has grown shallow
Life has grown shallow and dried
You drank from my waters till I went dry
