On the Surface Songtext
von Civil Twilight

It was cold on a dark starry night
As the frozen white light
Shone across my shoes
As I stood in the darkest blues
There came a light to rouse me
And the water that laid before me
And I could not wait to touch
The frozen hands that I felt so much

Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh

I heard a song inside of me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices
Sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then I′m only on the surface


This is where they're coming
Where some lives end and some begin
And this is where I like to stand
And watch this world in amazement
Stir humanity
With the visions of dignity
To see what will conspire
If I swim most swiftly to its fire

Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh

I heard a song inside of me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices
Sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then we′re only on the surface

Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh

I heard a voice inside of me
I looked up and I saw the sky scream
And there was life everywhere
If life is an ocean
Then I must be on the surface
Only on the surface...
