In Too Deep

Phil Collins with Genesis - In Too Deep, 1986

It's probably the full moon, or the two cups of cafe mocca that I consumed after 11 pm last night, or the conversation I had with a friend at dinner. Anyway, whatever it is...it's probably this song---it brings out the mushy-ness in me! I hope you'd join me in this sentimental journey and feel free to sing along (you can even make up your own MTV).:D

All that time I was searching

nowhere to run to

it started me thinking

Wondering what I could make of my life

and who would be waiting

Asking all kinds of questions, to myself,

but never finding the answers

Crying at the top of my voice

and no one listening

All this time, I still remember everything you said

There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget?

Listen, you know I love you, but I just cant take this,

You know I love you, but Im playing for keeps,

Although I need you, Im not gonna make this,

You know I want to, but Im in too deep.

So listen, listen to me

You must believe me

I can feel your eyes go thru me

But I dont know why.

I know youre going, but I cant believe

Its the way that youre leaving

Its like we never knew each other at all

it may be my fault, I gave you too many reasons,

being alone, when I didnt want to

I thought you'd always be there

I almost believed you...

All this time, I still remember everything you said

There's so much you promised

how could I ever forget?

Listen, you know I love you, but I just cant take this

You know I love you, but Im playing for keeps

Although I need you, Im not gonna make this

You know I want to, but Im in too deep.

So listen, listen to me, I can feel your eyes go thru me

It seems Ive spent too long

Only thinking about myself

Now I want to spend my life

Just caring bout somebody else.

You know I love you, but I just cant take this

You know I love you, but Im playing for keeps

Although I need you, Im not gonna make this

You know I want to, but Im in too deep...
