The Surface Lyrics by COMPOSIT

1.1: The Depths

2016

I really must admit at first that I was thrown
To hear from you
So urgently
It's been so long
Never imagined you'd be coming 'round my way
To dip a foot
In to the depths
Of yesterday

And I don't know what
To feel inside
I can't say no
I'm terrified
That it's too soon
And it may always be

CHORUS
Cause what if I
Look deep in your eyes
And everything comes rushing to the surface?
What if you
Can read it in mine
And everything comes rushing to the surface?

Do I still take you to the places I had planned?
Or will you come
For coffee just
To shake my hand?
Will either of us even know the words to say?
Or will we sit
In silence 'til
You're on your way?

Do we laugh and joke
And play pretend
That we were never more than friends?
Can you do that?
I'm not sure I can

CHORUS
Cause what if I
Look deep in your eyes
And everything comes rushing to the surface?
What if you
Can read it in mine
And everything comes rushing to the surface?

Oh, what if we get caught up in the moment?
And the tears start rollin'
We never had a real goodbye
What if it's plain to see you still love me?
And you reach out to touch me?
Can we swim against the tide?

CHORUS
Cause what if I (Oh, what if we get caught up in the moment?)
Look deep in your eyes (And the tears start rollin')
And everything comes rushing to the surface?
What if you (What if it's plain to see you still love me?)
Can read it in mine (And you reach out to touch me?)
And everything comes rushing to the surface?

The other reason for this song
You see, to heal my heart
I've finally started moving on
So honestly I'd mostly be relieved
If plans could change
So we'd remain
A memory
