When's the last time we looked each other in the eyes Last time we dressed up for the ball The last time we felt a raging jealousy inside Or any raging feeling at all When's the last time we forfeited the last word The last time we didn't care who won When's the last time we risked being rejected but alive Instead of just comfortably numb We have been scratching at the surface of things When rivers run underneath There's a whole world happening just under our breath Covered by the slinging of mud There's a pain that doesn't even have a name yet An injury hemorrhaging blood There's a fire still flickering from years ago Unsure if it should comfort or burn There's a hope that's hidden in the waters below Patiently waiting its turn We have been scratching at the surface of things When rivers run underneath Put your ear to the ground And your fist through the wall Chase the rumbling sound Saying maybe we're not dead after all It's not too late to start our hearts beating again Not too late to wake up to a dream It's not too late to walk together to the water's edge Kneel down and take a drink We have been scratching at the surface of things When rivers run underneath
