On the Surface
Written by Jimmy Tittle and Rosanne Cash · © All rights reserved
On the surface everything seems right
No one notices the dimness of the light
For the world outside our windows
Our smiles are oh so bright
On the surface
Everything’s alright
We have the grace of actors on a stage
We orchestrate the moves that complement the play
The things that we believe in, we just throw them away
But on the surface
Everything’s okay
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
On the surface
Everything’s alright
What are you thinking tonight?
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
We can face tomorrow if we just get through today
I’m holding back the tears while you’re pushin’ me away
But on the surface
Everything’s okay
Yeah, on the surface
Everything’s okay
