Surfaced

I set my words on the ground and I was grinding my teeth
 I planted pieces of light to see if planets could speak
 It took my mind by surprise and I was finally free
 Through all my darkest days
 I felt my heartbeat again and dropped to my knees
 There was a sun in my eyes that 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 the 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 if you look the other way
 It's been a bad year so let me sleep in one more day
 I really found the 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, just a kid
 Can you hear me? Well, I don't even care
 I'll stop my screaming if you look the other way
 It's been a bad year so let me sleep in one more day
 I really found the 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 if you look the other way
 It's been a bad year so let me sleep in one more day
 I really found the 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
