Surface Noise

 

 

I didn't now how to feel

When you told me that I couldn't

Lay a claim on you

I didn't now how to feel

When you said that after

All that we'd been through

I didn't know what to do when

You pushed me cause I'd fallen

So far through

I didn't know what to do

So I picked up something and threw

 

So this is how it's going down

This is what it's gonna be

Just a waltz round the bed

And then back to the

surface noise again

​

I didn't know how to hear

When you told me

How to really speak to you

I didn't know how to hear

When you told me

That my rushing was affecting you

I only knew that we made

The kind of loving

That some only aspire to

I only knew what it felt being

Closer than some people

Never get to
