You laugh about forever, but the echo disappears. Your eyes skim over oceans youโ€™ve never dared to knowโ€” You live upon the surface, where I drowned so long ago. [Chorus] Oh, I wish you were deeper, not just light on the skin. I wish you could feel me where the silence begins. Thereโ€™s gold beneath the grieving, and stars inside the scarsโ€” But youโ€™re tracing constellations without knowing what they are. [Verse 2] Iโ€™ve watched a thousand faces scroll by like restless ghosts. They talk of love and meaning, but never make a post about the quiet hunger that keeps them half-awakeโ€” They sell their souls for comfort and call it โ€œgive and take.โ€ [Chorus] Oh, I wish you were deeper, past the filters and the noise. Where truth is soft and broken, and pain can still rejoice. Youโ€™d find me in the stillness, where the dreamers tend to hideโ€” But you stay where itโ€™s easy, and call it being โ€œalive.โ€ [Bridge] Iโ€™m not angry, just lonely, in a world so paper-thin. You touch me with your presence, but never step within. Thereโ€™s a galaxy of feeling behind these tired eyesโ€” But when I try to show it, you look awayโ€ฆ surprised. [Final Chorus] Oh, I wish you were deeper, so I wouldnโ€™t feel so strange. Maybe then our shadows could finally exchange. Iโ€™d meet you past the daylight, where the quiet souls still weepโ€” But itโ€™s hard to dream with dreamers who never fall that deep. [Outro ยท spoken/soft sung] So I drift between the layers, in the hush that no one hearsโ€ฆ Still whispering to the water: โ€œI wish you were deeper, my dear.โ€
