🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • We're far from the shallow now
  • In the sha-ha, sha-ha-llow
  • In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-llow
  • In the sha-ha, sha-ha-llow

Echo the hook

  • Or do you need more?
  • Is there something else you're searchin' for?
  • I'm falling
  • In all the good times, I find myself longin' for change
llowtimesmyself
