Surfaced

I set my words on the ground and I was grinding my teeth

I planned the pieces alike to see if planets could speak

It took my mind by surprise and I was finally free

From all my darkest days

I found my heartbeat again and dropped to my knees

There was the sun in my eyes it made a star out of me

It's like my life was a list

And my head was first to get crossed off

And it's a pleasure that I keep

To sit down with my friends and talk about my day

Can you hear me Well I don't even care

I'll stop my screaming to look the other way

It's been a bad year so let me sleep in one more day

I really found that simple things live closest to your home

I'm not alone because I live inside a world that is my own

I haven't found what I've been looking for yet

But you can count on me to stay forever

And that's the truth we'll stay just fine

I'm coming back and just on time

To be myself again the way that made me real

So tell me have you surfaced yet

This is how it felt when I was growing up

And being part of no one but you found yourself

And that says a lot to me these days

I'm sorry for the way I used to be

I was just a kid

Can you hear me Well I don't even care

I'll stop my screaming to look the other way

It's been a bad year so let me sleep in one more day

I really found that simple things live closest to your home

I'm not alone because I live inside a world that is my own

I haven't found what I've been looking for yet

But you can count on me to stay forever

Yeah let me sleep it off

"Try not to be hard on yourself" was all I ever heard from her

I finally think I understand what she was saying to me

Because nothing's worth the pain in your back believe in that

The world can take control but don't ever lose your heart

Because I know you better than that

Because I know you better than that

Can you hear me Well I don't even care

I'll stop my screaming to look the other way

It's been a bad year so let me sleep in one more day

I really found that simple things live closest to your home

I'm not alone because I live inside a world that is my own

I haven't found what I've been looking for yet

But you can count on me to stay forever
