Shallow Waters

I keep on walking down the same old streets
Where every single sign reads 'you and me'
I've known love and I've heard the voices you would never chase
You were something else
And I got scared

Became the thundercloud inside your head
Bringing lots of noise but not a drop of rain
Like that time I told you sometimes it's just cool to let it go
And I went mad because I knew I was wrong
Yes, I went mad because I knew I was wrong

We were the only nonbelievers
Who got to see the face of God
Making love by the shallow waters in the sun
Oh, never been so happy
As when I didn't know I was happy
Swimming naked with your laughter
Ringing long after you were gone

Now pretty laughing eyes got sick and tired of crying
So she went ahead and bought a new summer dress
Just to think of you my love used to feel like dying
Still I'm trying
Did I scare you away? Hey, did I put you off?

Context missing, there is no caption, just a picture
A morning shower raining down on some misguided creature
Out of focus like your daydreams when you meet me
In the morning, half awake and half awaiting

We were the only nonbelievers
Who got to see the face of God
Making love by the shallow waters in the sun
Oh, never been so happy
As when I didn't know I was happy
Swimming naked with your laughter
Ringing long after you were gone
