Surface

Give it to me straight

Tell me what’s been on your mind

See it in your face

Our love is running out of time

But I need to hear you say it

Maybe there’s a chance to make it right

A slow dance to save the night

When the words start flowing

Like red wine over dinner plans

I can hear the ocean

You and I sitting on the sand

You tell me you fell out of love

And now you want to give it up

Take it back to the surface

Before I ever was your man

Chorus:

Oh oh oh

I don’t want us to pretend that what we have is gone

If you tell me that it’s over then I’ll just move on

Sorry if I let you down

But I don’t want to be around

Cause baby no I won’t take less

And meet you on the surface

At night I hear your voice

Playing back the fights that went too far

Wish I had a choice

To take it all back, the reactions

How could I let myself fall down

Losing my grip when it finally counts

All of the time we spent with our guard up

Now we’ve never been more apart

But maybe that’s just how it ends

Go back to just friends

But you and I were something different

We’re too far to start over again

Chorus:

Oh oh oh

I don’t want us to pretend that what we have is gone

If you tell me that it’s over then I’ll just move on

Sorry if I let you down

But I don’t want to be around

Cause baby no I won’t take less

And meet you on the surface

Meet you on the surface

Meet you on the surface

Meet you on the surface

No, I won’t

Meet you on the surface

Better if I walk away

Then to hold on any longer

I’m sorry that I let you down

But I know that we’ll be good somehow

Hurts me more, I must confess

To leave you on the surface
