I released Surface on my birthday, the day I marked two years since I quit drinking.
It's a song about finding your way back up when life tries to pull you under.
If you've ever had to start over, this one's for you.
Full lyrics
Didn't jump in all at once
Just weighed it out a little every night
Told myself I still could touch the ground
Didn't notice I was losing sight
Water felt so warm
Didn't feel like home
But I was drowning slow
Didn't even know
Till I came up for air
Two years ago
Now I'm at the surface
Feels like I was worth it
Finally breathing easy
Finally letting go
Used to call it taking the edge off
Really I was sinking by degrees
Funny how the bottom creeps on you
When the water's warm enough to please
Water felt so warm
Didn't feel like home
But I was drowning slow
Didn't even know
Till I came up for air
Two years ago
Now I'm at the surface
Feels like I was worth it
Finally breathing easy
Finally letting go
Pulled myself up
Nobody pulled me
Just got tired of the weight
Of something that wasn't free
I'm at the surface now
I'm at the surface now
And I ain't going back
Now I'm at the surface
Feels like I was worth it
Finally breathing easy
Finally letting go
Surface
Surface
Surface
Surface
