Verso 1

Longing for something so deep
Something to keep
Look but I can’t seem to seek
Something I know that will last
Time moving fast
All 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

Coro 1

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

Verso 2

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

Coro 1

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

Puente

Trying to let you in
But you put up your walls
Im here to catch your fall
If you let me
It’s okay
We all need attention
Just be real
And ask the question

Verso 3

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

Coro 2

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'd really see each other
Don't keep it on the surface
Just tell me how you really feel
