The Deep End Lyrics
I can't play this game for you.
Your vowels are all gone and Scrabble's left only consonants for you.
I can't say if it's right or if it's the wrong thing to do.
Are you calling from a pay phone this time?
The lines aren't clear. Is everything okay on your side?
No one needs to know. No one needs to know right now.
Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down.
No one needs to know. No one needs to know right now.
Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down.
Who has the say on how the way things should be?
Who will take you home when the lights go on and your glass is empty?
Who will hold your breath when you're diving off the deep end?
Are you calling from a pay phone this time?
The lines aren't clear. Is everything okay on your side?
No one needs to know. No one needs to know right now.
Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down.
No one needs to know. No one needs to know right now.
Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down.
Don't let em break you down.
Don't let em break you down.
Your vowels are all gone and Scrabble's left only consonants for you.

Are you calling from a pay phone this time?
The lines aren't clear. Is everything okay on your side?
Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down.
No one needs to know. No one needs to know right now.
Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down.
Who will take you home when the lights go on and your glass is empty?
Who will hold your breath when you're diving off the deep end?
The lines aren't clear. Is everything okay on your side?
Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down.
No one needs to know. No one needs to know right now.
Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down.
Don't let em break you down.

This song is my favourite on the album. It's so pretty.
I think it must be about two people in a relationship they can't really control. There is probably some distance: "Are you calling from a payphone this time? the lines aren't clear. Is everything okay on your side?" Or some sort of closed off thoughts or something the guy is hiding in his head (maybe he was depressed or something before her: "scrabble's only left consonents for you"
I think the girl is saying it's okay, and that he doesn't have to tell her, because it's probably no big deal or it doesn't matter. Not as long as they're together. And she'll be there for him.
Gee, I wish people would leave their comment about what they think of it...(hint hint)
Hey, When I heard this song, I thought this song was about being a friend, not telling your friend what the "right" thing to do is but instead asking how they are:

To me, it's like she's saying "It's okay, you don't have to tell anyone what's wrong if you don't want to. Just relax and don't let anyone bring you down.

I especially like the part where she says:
"Who has the say on how the way things should be? Who will take you home when the lights go on and your glass is empty? Who will hold your breath when you're diving off the deep end?"
Who has the right to tell you what should or should not be? She's asking who will take care of them and watch out for them. I think she wants to be that person, whether it's as a friend or a lover.
That's just my interpretation of this song. :)
