The Surface

And here you are all in
Nightmares can turn to happy endings
There is not a road I wouldn't take with you

I've seen where the heart goes when it is burning
I've followed smoke signals and turned up with nothing
We can't turn back time but I wouldn't want to
If I had done anything different, would I be here with you, you?

You're, you're not alone
I'm right here

You look at me
You stare at me, and I scream
I can't keep it inside too long
Can you see what I'm thinking?
Is it like looking at the stars on the darkest night?

But you, you, you know that you're not running
From something real
You've created an enemy
Could I convince you to trust more quickly?
Didn't you notice I was trying to make it easy?
Didn't you notice the way that I looked at you?
Was I being obvious? I thought I was see-through
I've got a lot to say until I need to say it
I wish my arguments were as good as in my head

If you'd look at me closely you'd see
That I've opened up
Nothing's too far from the surface
Just look at the way that I look at you

You look at me
You stare at me, and I scream
I can't keep it inside too long
Can you see what I'm thinking?
Is it like looking at the stars on the darkest night?
