  • We move surface to air
    Will you follow me anywhere?
    Try to rise up, you lied up
    Into the silence
    If you know what I know
    Maybe then someday you will go
    Seize the night far below

    Take my hand, shift in sand
    While the other on solid ground
    Side by side, rising tides
    Stay up together
    Hit the ground, feel revived
    No, I had rather be right now
    Just in surface to air

    Open up every door
    Was it the future that you saw?
    Now it's more than, it's less than a truth we're telling
    Step to the fire and then walk away and leave it
    The clock is keeping time
    Now you'd better hear it
    Step to the fire and then I can almost feel it
    Don't spend a half-lifetime
    Thinking while make-believing

    We've been weightless too long
    Over everything we have done
    Never hide out, let's ride out
    Above horizons
    Light out, let it burn
    Show me a way I can return
    Just a surface to air

    Open up every door
    Was it the future that you saw?
    Now it's more than, it's less than a truth we're telling
    Step to the fire and then walk away and leave it
    The clock is keeping time
    Now you'd better hear it
    Step to the fire and then I can almost feel it
    Don't spend a half-lifetime
    Thinking while make-believing

    Step to the fire and then walk away and leave it
    The clock is keeping time
    Now you'd better hear it
    Step to the fire and then I can almost feel it
    Don't spend a half-lifetime
    Thinking while make-believing

    Step to the fire and then walk away and leave it
    The clock is keeping time
    Now you better hear it
    Step to the fire and then I can almost feel it
    Don't spend a half-lifetime
