I'm feeling shallow today
  I got nothing below today
  I got no big time pay off
  The lifeguard has the day off
  
  I found no solace in being smart
  Now I wanna act dumb and dress the part
  I'm turning off the eyes of the eternal observor
  I don't wanna be the life preserver
  
  I'm here asleep on the shore in a heap and
  I'm finding it better than keeping the deep end
  So when I'm down and my senses are reeling
  Not even you can ruin this feeling
  
  I'm feeling shallow today
  So don't you dive too low today
  The net and hook are hung up
  And I'm working on what's next to be strung up
