"The Surface" lyrics

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're, 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
