Sloan Struble married his partner in 2021, a year before People in Motion was released. Several of the album’s tracks celebrate aspects of a healthy relationship, including “Deep End,” which describes the closeness that comes from trust and unconditional support.
[Verse 1]
Alright, I'm fine saying what I knew before
But I can feel beyond the shore something pulling me
And by now, found out that I never knew how to swim
In something I was given, so I let it in
[Chorus]
Come take me into the deep end
Show me how to let it go like flowing water
We can go farther
Oh, I've made it so much harder than it has to be
'Cause I've gotta want it
And feel like oh, man
We can go and go and go and go 'til nothing is
Oh, I'm sure we can
It's coming in phases
It keeps waving, waiting for a small hello
[Verse 2]
So alright, decide, how long can you hold the weight?
I see you in between those waves crashing over me
And so far, bizarre things are always happening
Infinity below my feet, yet I'm dancing
[Chorus]
So come on, take me into the deep end
And show me how to let it go like flowing water
We can go farther
Oh, I've made it so much harder than it has to be
'Cause I've gotta want it
And feel like oh, man
We can go and go and go and go 'til nothing is
Oh, I'm sure we can
It's coming in phases
It keeps waving, waiting for a small hello
(Oh, yeah)
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
(Yeah)
So come on, take me into the deep end
And show me how to let it go like flowing water
We can go farther
Oh, I've made it so much harder than it has to be
'Cause I've gotta want it
And feel like oh, man
We can go and go and go and go 'til nothing is
Oh, I'm sure we can
It's coming in phases
It keeps waving, waiting for a small hello
(Oh, yeah)
