Lyrics

Scratch the Surface

[Verse 1] Every story needs an introduction Can you introduce me to our love? And I've been hiding from my own destruction Hoping you'll protect me from above [Pre-Chorus] All my life I have been locked away But if you're here to stay [Chorus] Won't you scratch the surface for me? You scratch the surface for me [Verse 2] And I've in and out of introspection Pulling at the harlots of the heart And we're both looking for a new reaction But we'll never know if we don't start [Pre-Chorus] All my life I walked away But if I'm here to stay [Chorus] Won't you scratch the surface for me? You scratch the surface for me [Bridge] And I've looked the other way But now, I'm un-afraid to say [Chorus] Won't you scratch the surface for me? You scratch the surface for me [Outro] You scratch the surface for me You scratch the surface for me You (scratch the surface for me) You (scratch the surface for me) You (scratch the surface for me) You scratch the surface for me
