On The Surface Lyrics - Civil Twilight - Civil Twilight

It was cold on a dark starry night 

As the frozen white light 

Shone across my shoes 

As I stood in the darkest blues 

There came a light to rouse me 

And the water that laid before me 

And I could not wait to touch 

The frozen hands that I felt so much 

Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh 

I heard a song inside of me 

It resonated off the sea 

And all the chorus voices 

Sang it back to me 

If life is an ocean 

Then I'm only on the surface

This is where they're coming 

Where some lives end and some begin 

And this is where I like to stand 

And watch this world in amazement 

Stir humanity 

With the visions of dignity 

To see what will conspire 

If I swim most swiftly to its fire 

Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh 

I heard a song inside of me 

It resonated off the sea 

And all the chorus voices 

Sang it back to me 

If life is an ocean 

Then we're only on the surface 

Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh

I heard a voice inside of me 

I looked up and I saw the sky scream 

And there was life everywhere 

If life is an ocean 

Then I must be on the surface 

Only on the surface...
