Emery - In Shallow Seas We Sail Lyrics
I got eyes in the back of my head and I, see where you're going with this
I'm not surprised
You take me for a fool, maybe you're right
If I was wiser I would not have let myself come here tonight
Here I am watching the summer fading (The summer we shared fade away with the winter)
Your hands were warm on my face. Now they're cold, pushing away (Your hands were warm now...)
Slowly now (Colder than ice and they are slowly pushing me away)
Pushing me away
I knew it (I knew it) right from the start
I got this big, big hole in my heart
I wanted (I wanted) to put you in
But for some reason you just wouldn't fit
You just wouldn't fit
You sold yourself, You'll never learn (You sold yourself...)
Here I am watching the summer fading (The summer we shared fade away with the winter)
Your hands were warm on my face. Now they're cold, pushing away (Your hands were warm now...)
Slowly now (Colder than ice and they are slowly pushing me away)
Pushing me away, pushing me away, pushing me away
Lust can give a man so many regrets
Just this once is what we tell ourselves
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ships don't sink if they have wind in their sails
But if the wind fails is there hope for me (I guess your love, was only as safe..)
I thought your love was safe as promise you made (..as the promise you made...)
Now I am drowning in your shallow sea; I swim
(you are the storm, the wind and the waves, you break me in two and toss me away)
You are the waves that toss me in.
(I fell apart when I fell for you)
How can I float above the water that fills my lungs?
(you are the water filing my lungs, killing me softly without a word)
Killing me softly without a word.
(Without a word)

Emery In Shallow Seas We Sail Comments
This band is so good it is crazy! Something is really weird they went under the radar. They delivered so much. The Question and Shallow Seas are epic albums. Their style is so refined, the melodies and vocals are perfect coral-like. BTW is the guy from Saosin doing the backing vocals? lel
Anyway, I still listen to them today and the last album is great too.
Best song ever in post-hc scene.
Gay song
@Natstown ur a dumb bitch
This song is so epic and sad at the same time. You know like Sting and the Police style.
The best ending of a song ever.. The music makes you feel like you're drowning and being tossed by the waves helplessly
Pierre Morin exactly!!😍
heard this on gta had to look it up
Was this song really on GTA? lol
Still crying when I hear this song years later.
The polyphonic/layered vocals are what get me. Especially at the end.
Powerful.
brittwait I'm a 30 year old grown ass man and I still get watery eyes
seriously one of the best songs I've ever listened to. the lyrics are incredible, the break down is a fucking master piece
"You sold yourself, NEVER LEARN"-Powerful lyrics
The greatest enemy of a man is lust. It will consume you and bring about your downfall. Emery could not more brilliantly lay down the facts of lust.
Easily one of the greatest pieces of art my ears have ever heard <3
First heard this song while in French class. INSTANT LIKE.
Really? That's cool that it was in a class! Was it someone that showed it to you or just u stumbled across it?
HeyThereI'mSky I heard it on a music website called Songza. I think that website is shut down now.
Muito bom, uma das melhores musicas deles e este éo melhor cd deles
And now for the correct lyrics please correct me if I'm wrong:
I've got eyes in the back of my head and I, see where you're going with this
I'm not surprised
You take me for a fool, maybe you're right
If I was wiser I would not have let myself come here tonight
You sold yourself, you'll never learn (You sold yourself...)
Here I am watching the summer fading (The summer we shared fade away with the winter)
Your hands were warm on my face. Now they're cold, pushing away (Your hands were warm now...)
Slowly away (Colder than ice and they are slowly pushing me away)
Pushing me away
I knew it (I knew it) right from the start
I got this big, big hole in my heart
I wanted (I wanted) to put you in
But for some reason you just wouldn't fit
You just wouldn't fit
You sold yourself, You'll never learn (You sold yourself...)
Here I am watching the summer fading (The summer we shared fade away with the winter)
Your hands were warm on my face. Now they're cold, pushing away (Your hands were warm now...)
Slowly away (Colder than ice and they are slowly pushing me away)
Pushing me away, pushing me away, pushing me away
Lust can give a man so many regrets
Just this once is what we tell ourselves
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ships don't sink if they have wind in their sails
But if the wind fails is there hope for me (I guess your love, was only as safe..)
I thought your love was as safe as the promise you made (..as the promise you made...)
Now I am drowning in your shallow sea, I swear
(you are the storm, the wind and the waves, you break me in two and toss me away)
You are the waves that toss me away.
(I fell apart when I fell for you)
How can I float above the water that fills my lungs?
(you are the water filing my lungs, killing me softly without a word)
Killing me softly without a word.
(Without a word)
Also one of my favorite songs. This is amazing in acoustic, check it out
My favorite song by this band, used to listen to it all the time on my sister's iPod, now I have one of my own :D
Lust can give a man so many regrets
Just this once is what we tell ourselves...
Got "In Shallow Seas I Will Not Sail" tattooed on my arm :) been my favorite song for 3 years now
Taylor .Koellish I have " ships don't sink if they have wind in their sails" tattooed on my back
...the ''lady gaga bla bla bla'' argument again!?... c'mon maaaan grow up
I used to have this song as my alarm clock. It made every morning so pleasant. : )
When an artist becomes mainstream and gets millions of dollars, they have to release music on a quicker timeline because their music becomes obsolete so quickly. When it's rushed like that quality decreases. 117,000 is enough to keep this music alive, but few enough to ensure that they will have to keep proving themselves with awesome music. It sucks that it works that way, especially 'cause that's a route I plan on taking.
This is one of my favorite songs, but I am so not in a mood for these lyrics. I'm gonna go listen to K Pop 'cause I'm really giddy.
describes right now for me
Just discovered Emery by accident and i like what i hear. going to listen to some more tracks.
probably my favorite album by them, if not im only a man.
Thats a very hard thing to do.
Some guest vocalist named Aaron Sprinkle or something.
stereolove21 haha. Yeah the best producer of the era and this album.
You are the water filling my lungs....Killing me softly,without a word :,)
I love this line so much almost want to be able to actually quote it in convo.
Devin come back :(
he's back!!
@2:44 "I fell apart when i fell for you"....gets me every time ._.
Self-Reflection perhaps...for me.
Nothing like a song like this to actually make you feel something and to make you think about life. Emery is an excellent christian rock band and should be recognized by all who really appreciate inspirational music.
hallelujah brother!
._. I don't know how I got here from Pink Flyod, but ok ._.'
Yeah so I'm pretty sure this is the best song ever created.
I'm crying hard listening to this song, yet still have a smile on my face
those people that dislike this song need to go drown in a shallow sea(:
Its a good song,thats for sure
stopping by for my weekly dose of emery.
Awh. :( I'm sorry.
I know bro.. I think of my ex and I everytime :/ It reflects our relationship perfectly. :(
accoustic version is way much better!
i got excited when i hear this song like for real i smile i think i LOVE it = )
@flagstafforlife Some of their songs make me a tad bit sad... It's stuff I've listened to in the past. And... It just makes me think of those times. And the music.... I love them so much, but they do make me sad sometimes :P
I want to say 3 out of 10 Emery songs do it.
I want to say...
@flagstafforlife Nah, I fucking want to shoot the fucking world 'til I find her, and then stay.
This has 117,000 views. Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" has 117,000,000. That's disgusting.
@flagstafforlife <3
@theskiful this whole cd has a wierd effect...
Is it just me.. but do you somehow feel happy and depressed when you listen to this band? feels ridiculous
@flagstafforlife idk what it is about this song, but its moving
@flagstafforlife All of Emery's songs make me really depressed. That just shows how beautiful and touching they are
favorite song on the album.
this song is over way too quickly
this is one a the best songs ive ever heard
How do you dislike this? Seriously??
@XxInhumanToxicityxX Their new album is a little more reminiscent of their earlier songs...but it is still a really good album, just listen to some of the songs, they will grow on you. "Crumbling" on "We Do What We Want" is a fantastic song, probably the best on the album in my opinion, but in general the whole album is pretty amazing. I think with "In Shallow Seas We Sail" they were trying a particular style and "We Do What We Want" is not necessarily in the same style.
"Lust can give a man so many regrets"
and even more for the girl who thought you loved her3
What happened to this band? The new album does NOT sound like this at all. I dont want the same exact thing I just want beautiful music and they have done it up to this album. The new one is trash and this is coming from a fanboy of them.
@chimairaman6 You think this sucks? Dude, go listen to your justin bieber.
@iTzGamer4life It's a placebo effect, man. No difference.
@Bloodtoxx if u better listen to it u will hear the difference
@iTzGamer4life I've noticed no difference in the audio quality.
since the new update from youtbe is out the sound is really gay :/
@JasColeWood No sorry, you must have mispelled "Ships don't sink if they have wind in their sails
But if the wind fails is there hope for me", because I truly believe that's the one you, I and everybody like more <3
This is my fravorite song of this album!! Emery is the best!!!
niceLyrics
this is the first time I listen to this band, i think i found my new ipod filler:P
Am I the only person who gets really depressed when listening to this song? ._.
Best by far
emery is so amazing!
this is just another song i don't get tired of.
More people need to hear emery♥
how can some one dislike this divine?(that mean that they are just live for nothing and for fool) :`[ there is heaven to lisen theese music <3 i can tell differently!<3 it's all my feelings were written in the lyrics and set to music!that is wonderful and beautiful! I hope people feel the same when lisen this!Emery is my forever and always!that music should not die!& will not die!!!!
sounds are mixed together forming an angelic choir!
"You are the storm..."
this what i feel inside..really beautiful like heaven...there are my feelings written and set to music!!!!
@fiordalisi12 lmfao you fucking made my day >.<
My mom loves this band. And she listens to K-LOVE.
Emery is one of those few bands that only get better with each album.
(you are the water filing my lungs, killing me softly without a word)
@Aeilena
umad?
@sora987 Honestly. It's Emery. Do you not read the description below the video? Or dare I say it, the TITLE?
@fiordalisi12 lols
Love this song.
Who is singing the background lyrics (You are the storm etc.) from 2:36 on?
Great song. Who is it by?
4 people need a frontal lobotomy
i Swear dude...
My new fav song!
i have this album since the day it came out and just realized yesterday how epic the backup vocals are.
@fiordalisi12 ...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
@adidas0723 LMAO LOL
@adidas0723 lol
If ANYONE knows how to play this song in its entirety i would love you forever. :)
(you are the water filing my lungs, killing me softly without a word)
this is how i feel right now =( 3
"You are the storm, the wind and the wave. You broke me in two and you tossed me away. i fell apart when I fell for you." <3 The best part.
actually, at the end... after the "oh"'s that Toby sings, you hear Devon's voice first.
the other voice is Aaron Sprinkle, the producer of the album. Aaron sings, "i guess your love was only as safe as the promise you made... you are the storm, the wind and the waves..." etc.
Toby sings what Devon is singing ("now i am drowning in your shallow sea..."), only a few octaves lower.
in my opinion, Aaron's voice against Devon's and Toby's sounds so so SO amazing.
im in love.
perfect song... great singers!!!
@fiordalisi12 in shallow seas we sail duhhhhhh
SO SWEET. my friends never got this album, whats wrong with them all ;)
@adidas0723
lmfao the stupidity of some people amuse me so much XD
geeeeeil
the name is in shallow saes we sails.
right?!
This song literally describes everything I felt last summer.
