[Verse 1]
Meet me where the sidewalk
Runs into your shoes
Where the city hits the window
And the window gives us views
Everybody wants a secret
Buried underneath
I don't need another basement
Baby, stay up here with me
Your hand against the table
My shoulder into yours
Every little world we've ever known
Has happened at the doors
[Pre-Chorus]
You can chase forever
For the thing behind the thing
I just wanna feel you
When the whole room starts to sing
[Chorus]
Welcome to Surfaceland
Everything is touching everything
Your skin, my hand
The floor, the band
The air between us moving when we dance
Welcome to Surfaceland
Nothing has to hide to make it real
Right here, right now
That's deep enough somehow
If this is all there is
I like the way it feels
Oh-oh, Surfaceland
Oh-oh, Surfaceland
[Verse 2]
You can split the atom
You can name the smallest part
Zoom until the picture
Turns to static in the dark
Tell me where the moment lives
Before it turns to gone
Maybe time is just what happens
When one surface moves along
You say, "What if we rewind it?
Would I choose another way?"
I say, "Order what you wanted
We can argue after eight"
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe you're a mystery
Maybe I'm a chain reaction
Either way you're laughing
And I like the interaction
[Chorus]
Welcome to Surfaceland
Everything is touching everything
Your skin, my hand
The floor, the band
The air between us moving when we dance
Welcome to Surfaceland
Nothing has to hide to make it real
Right here, right now
That's deep enough somehow
If this is all there is
I like the way it feels
Oh-oh, Surfaceland
Oh-oh, Surfaceland
[Post-Chorus]
No little ghost inside me
No driver in my head
Just a million little meetings
Making someone here instead
No little ghost inside you
Still I know you when you land
Come collide with me tonight
Down in Surfaceland
[Bridge]
Touch glass
Touch grass
Touch me on the way past
Streetlight
Midnight
Everything is contact
Bass hits
Heart kicks
Somebody spills a drink
Don't blink
Don't think
We're already in sync
Hey!
[Breakdown]
Surface to surface
That's how we know
Surface to surface
That's where we go
No hidden kingdom
No master plan
Just you and me
In Surfaceland
[Final Chorus]
Welcome to Surfaceland
Everything is touching everything
Your skin, my hand
The floor, the band
The whole damn planet moving when we dance
Welcome to Surfaceland
Nothing has to hide to make it real
Right here, right now
That's deep enough somehow
If this is all there is
I love the way it feels
Oh-oh, Surfaceland
Come on, come on
Oh-oh, Surfaceland
Everything is touching everything
[Outro]
Your hand, my hand
One night, one band
No need to understand
Welcome to Surfaceland
