Real friends are so far away

And there's so much I wish to say

I knew I'd find you once again in this great pool of life

You never understood it's not what we take...

But what we give to the world that makes us feel great



You're pretending to swim

But just drifting out to sea

I knew I'd find you once again

Out of your depth in life



Still playing in the shallow end

Stealing someone else's dreams

Stop cheating in the shallow end

Risking nothing, absolutely nothing for your schemes

Call yourself a friend!



You think you walk on water,

Because you are so hollow

You'll beg, steal and borrow just for an easier life

You never understood it's not what we take...

But what we give to the world that makes us feel great



You're pretending to swim

But just drifting out to sea

I knew I'd find you once again

Out of your depth in life



Still playing in the shallow end

Stealing someone else's dreams

Stop cheating in the shallow end

Risking nothing, absolutely nothing for your schemes

Call yourself a friend!



And you're pretending to swim

But just drifting out to sea

While I braved the rocks and the storms

With ideals about a journey

Through hell and high-water



Still playing in the shallow end

Stealing someone else's dreams

Stop cheating in the shallow end

Risking nothing, absolutely nothing for your schemes

Stop playing...
