Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I need to get below the surface (Surface)
People up here, they get me nervous (Nervous)
Some days I pray I got no service (Service)
'Cause that phone is robbin' me of purpose (Purpose)
[PreChorus]
You can always tell me when I'm needin' a push
Breathe a little deeper just to slow down the rush
If you got the time, could you just come by and hang?
We'll put it all aside and marinate on some things
[Chorus]
Deeper, I wanna go deeper
I'm gettin' tired of the surface (Tired of the surface)
Deeper, I wanna go deeper
I'm gettin' tired of the surface, tired of the surface
[PostChorus]
Tired of the surface, tired of the surface (T. Wells)
[Verse 2]
Let's stop and have a conversation ('Sation)
Tell me what's really goin' on (Tell me what's really goin' on)
You probably feel some reservation ('Vation)
Real talk is fadin' like a song
[PreChorus]
'Cause I been lost in my thoughts for a couple of days
You know I can't catch my mind when it's runnin' away
If you can make the time, can me and you conversate?
Let's push aside the noise and marinate on some things (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
Deeper, I wanna go deeper
I'm gettin' tired of the surface (Tired of the surface, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Deeper, I wanna go deeper
I'm gettin' tired of the surface, tired of the surface
[PostChorus]
Tell me what's been goin' on with you (With you)
And I'll tell you everything I been walkin' through
Deeper (Yeah, yeah)
I'm gettin' tired of the surface
[Bridge]
If you need a friend, need some shade (Need some shade)
I'll always be a safe place (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
If you need some love, someone to pray (Someone to pray)
I'll stay up all night for you (Mm-mm)
I'll leave on the light for you (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Instrumental]
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Deeper, I wanna go deeper (I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go)
I'm gettin' tired of the surface (Getting tired of the surface)
Deeper, (Oh, yeah) yeah, yeah
I'm gettin' tired of the surface (Oh-oh), tired of the surface
[Outro]
We gon' take it down to the roots (Deeper)
To the roots, to the roots
We gon' dig a little deeper, just me and you (Deeper)
Me and you, me and you
We gon' take it down to the heart of it (Deeper)
To the heart of it
I'ma meet you where are
We gon' talk through every part of it, yeah
We gon' talk through every part of it
We gon' talk through every part of it
