Mike Gordon - Surface lyrics

You drift up and say so anyway
A thousand ways and then you say
Words floating seem like clouds to you

I watched those clouds crash on the shore
And bounce back out and you say some more
Your lips are moving faster now

I'm grabbing on your rippling wake
And trying to hold on
Spinning out away any sense of purpose
The breeze is blue and the water's so
Green and we both are so gone
And it's OK because we're
Skimming the surface

It's too thick to breathe when I'm
And you crash my faith with
Sounds kaleidoscope us

I'm gliding on your rippling wake
And trying to hold on
Spinning out away any sense of purpose
The breeze is blue and the water's so
Green and we both are so gone
And it's OK because we're
Skimming the surface

Once I betray all better time
Read between anything that wants to mean

I grab your aura as I lose my mind
My drowning troubles now left behind
Pending deadline thinks it's still alive

I'm gliding on your rippling wake
And trying to hold on
Slow motioning away any sense of purpose
The breeze is blue and the water's so
Green and we both are so gone
And it's OK because we're
Skimming the surface
