In Too Deep Lyrics

The faster we’re falling,
We’re stopping and stalling
We’re running in circles again
Just as things we’re looking up
You said it wasn’t good enough
But still we’re trying
One more time
Maybe we’re just
Trying too hard
When really it’s closer
Than it is too far

'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head
Instead of going under
'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head
Instead of going under
Instead of going under

Seems like each time
I’m with you I loose my mind,
Because I’m bending over
Backwards to relate
It’s one thing to complain
But when you’re
Driving me insane
Well then I think it’s time
That we took a break

Maybe we’re just
Trying too hard
When really it’s closer
Than it is too far

'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head
Instead of going under
'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head
Instead of going under
Instead of going under
Instead of going under

I can’t sit back
And wonder why
It took so long for this to die
And I hate it when you fake it
You can’t hide it you might
As well embrace it
So believe me it’s not easy
It seems that
Something’s telling me

'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head
Instead of going under
'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head
Instead of going under
Instead of going under
instead of going under

Instead of going under again
Instead of going under
Instead of going under again
Instead of going under again

Cover art for In Too Deep lyrics by Sum 41

it's a song about relationships...they've been together for a long time so they don't want to leave each other even though they know that they've grown apart

Really, guys? It's about penises.

"I love the video for this song...it's really cute! A lotta ppl make fun of me cuz i love Sum 41 and i'm considered a "prep" or whatever, but oh well. Oh ya... and I think Deryck's really cute. "

It's fucking people like you that ruin punk for the rest of us. you only like a band because they are cute or you saw their music video on fucking gay MTV. do you ever pay attention to the music or do you just buy all the front row tickets in the off chance that the band might touch you? get a fucking life.

The lyrics of "In Too Deep" by Sum 41 are about a relationship that is falling apart; they convey a sense of frustration, disappointment, and the struggle to hold on to a relationship that is failing.

The lyrics express the idea that the singer and their partner are "running in circles" and "stopping and stalling" as they try to make the relationship work.

"Just as things were looking up, you said it wasn't good enough" suggests that the singer was optimistic about the relationship, but their partner's dissatisfaction is causing the relationship to deteriorate.

The lyrics also express the idea that the singer is trying too hard to make the relationship work and that they are "in too deep" emotionally.

"Maybe we're just trying too hard / When really, it's closer than it is too far" the relationship is closer to success than they realize but they're still trying too hard.

I know punk music IS for everyone but i think that sometimes punks DO get pissed cos teenyboppers begin liking their music, and one of the reasons are 'they're cute!' and shit like that. It IS annoying, but I really don't care...it does annoy me to see poser teenies liking gc, blink or sum 41 together with nsync.

this song kicks ass, btw.

i jsut get really pissed when i see or hear comments like that, i don't mind people liking punk, but it's people that like it soley because the band is "cute" or "hot" that get on my nerves.

and to add, it also pisses me off when i like a band for a long time, their single comes out, they play it on MTV, and everyone all of a sudden loves the band, but thats the only song they know. that is all. :)
