[Verse 1] Look how the pages lean More girls in the frame More gloss in the dream More shine in the name But the man in the scene He stand like a fact Not posed for the lens Just living like that He tired in the jaw He late in the day He quiet with the load He got things on his brain No perfect outline No polished display Just work in his hands And dust on his way [Pre-Chorus] Middle age strong Not pushed to the side He wear his years Like stripes in his eye One by one The signs come clear Not just a body A whole mood here [Chorus] Seven men deep, seven men deep Seven men deep, hear how they speak Seven men deep, seven men deep Real-life faces, heavy and meek Seven men deep, seven men deep Not made to sparkle, made to keep Seven men deep, seven men deep In the room, in the rain, in the sleep [Verse 2] One got the tools By the sink in the shed One got a stare Like a weight in his head One on the porch With a shirt half-tucked One at the desk Lookin’ worn out, but up One in the kitchen With a kid on his knee One in the yard Where the grass run free One by the door With a call he can’t miss Not heroes, not models Just men like this [Pre-Chorus] Less about shape More about state Less about showing More about the weight A face with a day A room with a chair A body unsaid A feeling in there [Chorus] Seven men deep, seven men deep Seven men deep, hear how they speak Seven men deep, seven men deep Real-life faces, heavy and meek Seven men deep, seven men deep Not made to sparkle, made to keep Seven men deep, seven men deep In the room, in the rain, in the sleep [Bridge] And the girls in the frame Get the halo and gleam The dream in the dress The gold in the scheme But the men hold the floor Like the floor is enough Functional, ordinary Rough-edged stuff Still they breathe in the shot Still they carry the scene Not the center of heaven But part of the machine [Final Chorus] Seven men deep, seven men deep Seven men deep, hear how they speak Seven men deep, seven men deep Real-life faces, heavy and meek Seven men deep, seven men deep Not made to sparkle, made to keep Seven men deep, seven men deep In the room, in the rain, in the sleep [Outro] Authentic and present Low-key and true Seven men deep You can feel it too
