Lyrics for 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?
