Shallow

You're watching the cars, movies and stars
 They are your lifetime...
 Yet all that I am is half what we are
 Maybe some other time
 I'll get it right
 I'll get it right
 Oh sweet voice on the phone
 You sound so alone
 'Cause you couldn't be wasted
 Yet all that I ever was
 To you I am
 I'm less than a man
 That slowly changes out of phase
 And I don't know why it is
 Its an ever changing simple thing that I miss...
 While watching TV take in what you say
 So you're death is painless
 When all that I ever was returns again
 I'm all that I am
 And I'll get it right
 When I get it right
 'Cause I'll get it right
 When I get it right
 But I'm slowly changing out of phase
 And I don't know why it is
 It's an ever-changing simple thing that I know
 But don't know why it is
 That I'm longing for a sweet embrace, which I miss
