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 the stage
|
We orchestrate the moves that complement the play
|
But the things that we believe in we just throw them away
|
On the surface everything's okay
|
[ guitar ]
|
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 (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
|
