On The Surface Lyrics - Rosanne Cash

On the surface everything seems right no one notices the dimness of the light 

For the world outside our door our smiles are oh so bright 

On the surface everything's all right 

We have the grace of actors on the stage 

We orchestrate the moves that complement the play 

But the things that we believe in we just throw them away 

On the surface everything's okay 

(guitar) 

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 

And on the surface everything's all right 

What are you thinking tonight I don't know you (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 

But we can face tomorrow if we can just get through today 

I'm holding back the tears while you're pushing me away 

But on the surface everything's okay yeah on the surface everything's okay
