Kissing the stone wall where we once lay
Sends me to thinking of words I'd say
Missing your sweet lips, still so tongue-tied

Love's a word that I could say time and time again
Love's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain

Dragging me over the highest wall
Holding me tightly for fear I fall
How could I ever explain in words?

Hurt's a word that I could say time and time again
Hurt's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain

Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Still they're true

Singing your praises, while you're with her
Foolishly patient for your return
Silent you left me, and silence stays

Pain's a word that I could say time and time again
Pain's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain

Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Still they're true

Won't you wait and see
Won't you wait and see
Won't you wait and see
What I could say, what I should say, what I can say

Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow, shallow
Still they're true
