Don't Be Shallow Lyrics - Singles - Sondre Lerche

Forcing my way out of sleep 

I inhale the smell of spring and greens 

And bucket loads of bees 

Migraine's been all of over me 

The softest meadow would've cracked my head 

I'm easily mislead 

And you're standing in my way 

So give yourself a pair of hands today 

My words to you are fake 

Now you are my mistake 

And I am yours 

Don't be shallow 

Don't be cheap 

She prays for you 

To grow up 

Patiently 

Don't be selfish 

Nor un-managed 

You're all I want 

And nothing more 

But that's not good enough 

No no that's not good enough 

Trouble at the hardware store 

A funky foreign bodies interfere 

We like you don't come near 

But all that seems a waste of time 

When you are said to take the final test 

In the solemn quest 

She'll tell you to stand and watch 

The violent fields of praise so much 

Their ears are falling from the sky 

Where most of them now hide 

And I am yours 

Don't be shallow 

Don't be cheap 

She prays for you to grow up 

Patiently 

Don't be selfish 

Nor unmanaged 

You're all I want and nothing more 

But that's not good enough 

No no that's not good enough 

She'll tell you to stand and watch 

The violent fields of praise so much 

Their ears are falling from the sky 

Where most of them now hide 

And I am yours 

Don't be shallow 

Don't be cheap 

She prays for you to grow up 

Patiently 

Don't be selfish 

Nor unmanaged 

You're all I want and nothing more 

But that's not good enough 

No no that's not good enough
