On the Surface

Lyrics

On the surface, everything seems right No one notices the dimness of the light For the world outside our door, our smiles are oh so bright On the surface, everything's all right We have the grace of actors on a stage We orchestrate the moves that complement the play But the things that we believe in, we just throw them away And on the surface, everything's okay We say goodnight and then we close our eyes To drift in different worlds far from each other's sight Dreaming of yesterday when we held each other tight And on the surface, everything's all right What are you thinking tonight? I don't know you My words disappear in the night and there's no one there to notice Maybe our lives will never be the same But we can face tomorrow, if we can just get through today I'm holding back the tears while you're pushing me away But on the surface, everything's okay Yeah on the surface, everything's okay
