On The Surface Letra

Something I know that will last
Time moving fast
Of my true friends keeping track

Trying to keep my head above the water
Can't make it to the shore, I'm drifting farther
I'm reaching out for help but all I can hear You say is

Keep it on the surface
'Cause God forbid it gets too real
Just keep it on the surface
Don't tell me how you really feel
But maybe authenticity is power
And what if we could really see each other
Keep it on the surface
'Cause God forbid it gets too real

Everyone wants to be seen
But not to seem
As if thеy're feeling so weak
So now you put up a front
Pulling your stunts
Still feel like you'rе not enough

Is anybody there? Can someone hear me?
Can it be maybe we need to be set free?
'Cause so many cry for help but still I can hear You say

Keep it on the surface
'Cause God forbid it gets too real
Just keep it on the surface
Don't tell me how you really feel
But maybe authenticity is power
And what if we could really see each other
Keep it on the surface
'Cause God forbid it gets too real

I'm trying to let you in but you put up your walls
I'm here to catch your fall if you let me
It's okay (Okay) we all need attention
Just be real and ask the question

Can I give you my hand or simply listen?
I wanna be a friend in every season
I hear your cry for help and I am here to stay
Won't keep it on the surface
And hopefully it gets too real
Won't keep it on the surface
I'll tell you how I really feel
'Cause maybe authenticity is power
And hopefully we'll really see each other
Don't keep it on the surface
Just tell me how you really feel
