On the Surface

On the surface everything seems right
Nobody notices the dimness of the light
For everybody outside our smiles are so bright
On the surface everybody seems all right

We've got the grace of actors on the stage
We orchestrate the moves that complement the play
The things that we believe in, we just throw them all away
On the surface everything's okay

What are you thinking tonight, I don't know you
And it seems like you don't know me
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
On the surface all seems okay
On the surface all seems okay
If you don't look too close, all seems okay
On the surface all seems okay
On the surface
On the surface
On the surface...
