Verse 1 How deep is the ocean How tall is the mountain of mountains How big is the sun How did I become A son of a gun ⸻ Verse 2 My buddy’s got a girl named Emely She fell in love with his poetry Every word was written by me She fell in love with a fantasy Emely don’t like me Everybody loves Emely Nobody loves my poetry Only fucking Emely ⸻ Verse 3 Just a concrete poet With sad songs and deep pain Just an old city soldier Without a compass in the rain I just hide, I don’t run I’m simply a son of a gun ⸻ Chorus How deep is the ocean How far can I run Be my salvation Before the light is gone Catch me if you can Even if I’m just another son of a gun ⸻ Verse 4 I don’t wanna be like everybody But I need to sleep, at least I don’t need to be somebody But I need to breathe, at least I’m tired of lonely, I need a baby She don’t need to be like Emely She only needs to fucking love me ⸻ Bridge How deep in the dark is my treasure Will it sting in the heart when she enters How deep is your love if I surrender ⸻ Final Chorus How deep is the ocean How far can I run Be my salvation Before the light is gone Catch me if you can Even if I’m just another son of a gun
