Like a spider on the water
Like a sdteamboat on the sea
Like the rocks in whiskey – soda
I am swimmin' on the surface
Like a wave upon the ocean
Like a leaf on a pool
Like the reason on emotion
I am swimmin' on the surface

I'm tryin' to get closer to
I try to break those walls
In vain, I push but can't get through
I fail to touch your soul
I'd like to see inside the case
I'd like to find what counts
Instead I hide behind my face
I'm driftin' round and round
On the surface

Like a lightbeam fromm a mirror
Like a hammer from a string
Like an arrow from a hero
I'm rebounding from the surface
Like a head through a brickwall
Like a sound through a deaf man's ear
Like the truth through a sick soul
I can't pierce through the surface
I'm tryin' to get…

Like a spider on the water
Like a steamboat on the sea
Like the rocks in whiskey – soda
Like ideas i don't agree to
Like a tree trunk on the river
Like a bottle on a creek
Alike doubt that can't touch believers
I am swimmin' on the surface

Right now I must get closer to
I have to break those walls
I'll push and shove 'till I get through
'Till i can feel your soul
I wanna see inside the case
I wanna find what counts
I'll cease to hide behind my face
Enough or driftin' round
On the surface
