Bonobo - Surface Lyrics

I'd love to hear this used in a Mirror's Edge game, it'd fit so well.

Brilliant!

The first 20 seconds reminds me of Coldplay.

I think this is my favorite track off this album.

I always end up bawling my eyes out whenever I listen to this song. It feels like it opens up the floodgates of all the emotions I keep trapped inside of myself in order to function in day to day life. It feels like a healthy release. Thank you, bonobo.

One of my fav track of Migration album 😍😍😍

Why does the image color changes with the window focus?

Amazing, you know...

en boucle

Good, good, very good!

This album is pure genius but this song and Figures are tied for the top spot!! :)

This has quickly become one of my favorite Bonobo tracks, second only to Towers and Pieces. And I'm finally starting to realise that Bonobo is not just excellent but musically genius.

show me a bonobo song i dislike and I'll eat my own shoes after filling them with cat poop

Beautiful song

A Magical Masterpiece ......

This song gives my heartbreak meaning.

That beginning sounds like a sound sampled/ the same atmosphere from the movie The Secret Garden (1993). Love it!

Uwielbiam :)

My workplace has a new playlist from the higher management in Spain and plays this song and No reason by Bonobo himself. The first time i heard it, i cant get enough listening to it and wanting it to replay in that 8.5 hours working. Everytime i heard it, i would hide in the fitting room and cry to myself or even happily running the clothes. And this song always lighten up my mood at the same time brings down my mood at times. By most of the times i relate to the song and i love it 😘

thanks for tour dates, but can you change september 27 to; LOS ANGELES, CA... not LA lol, los angeles is LA

444,444 view...now, that's cool! :P

Always wanted some sort of Hundred Waters x Bonobo collab ever since I discovered the two. This is utterly sublime 👌❤️

sooooooooooo chilling

oh my God....

My favorite of the album, and possibly of all of Bonobo's work. This is just so beautiful!

I have been listen to bonobo music for decades, while in high school, college, going to job interviews in LA freeway, while drinking, depressed, happy, at work, drawing, sleeping..................the music of my life!!!

CRIMSON_626 😊😊

I've often said that with Bonobo's library, there is a song to suit any occasion.

beautiful and ephemeral.

Bonobo is a true artist, an auteur, such care has been put into his music and you can tell each and every time

where is old Bonobo? whhhheeeeereeee?

In love with this song!

Em amor

This has got to be the most beautiful sound track i have ever heard........ The way it brings up mixed emotions is so unimaginable

Taking it to the next level with that Coachella set. Just amazing.

Perfect song for making love.

Great song..... one of the best for me ❤

thanks you for existing Man ....

This is my favorite song and album of 2017 so far, thanks for the killer music. I've listened to it a few dozen times now.

This is in the top five bonobo songs, and it sounds nothing like him.
Love the exploration Migration represents and I hope it continues.

One of the best Bonobo songs of all time, unreal

I Hear some Star Guitar of Chemical Brothers in it...

Unbelievable... I heard it the first time... I thought "cool song"... then the second time... I thought "wow... really catchy"... third time... "fucking good refrain... I can make it up... I can make it up"... forth time .... "I fuckin love it"... fifth time... "okay.... one more time and then I go to bed".... sixth time... "Bonobo... you are a genius, damn".... seventh time... I ordered the album... there was no choice anymore...

seven 7th was the good one so!

Only thing that bothers me is the fact that her lower voice is barely hearable.

but why arent you coming to south africa? i just bought the album 'migration' and im loving it to bits. it could be even better than 'the north borders'' album,. please come to south africa.

You're not the only one lol

Just checking the migration songs.....and nice again.... its going to be a buy.
Support your musicmakers people

I support Preben Cramer

the colors in this picture remind me of a map in Halo 5. i like that map. i really like this song.

Yessss.... It feels like currents of water pouring off the body..

This song is so fye rn

One of my favorite Bonobo tracks of all time!!! I had to listen to this album a few times to really get into it, but I really do love it now.

same, this album is straight fire though

So many stellar tracks on this album!

Amazing🍾💕

nicole miglis voice is heaven on earth, this is pure gold

Her voice reminds me so much of this other singer, can't remember her name for the life of me and it's driving me insane

My favorite from this new album, so far <3 What a masterpiece, this new album is beyond.

Bonobo is always on point

is the ladies voice from the band hundred waters?

Yeah I think it is.

Make me
I've been paper thin so I can not fly
I can not move without wind, without wind

Saw the side of you I never knew
But were we ever good enough?
And all we have to do is talk it through
But words are never good enough

Can we get anywhere?
Paper thin paperweight
Are we close enough?
Close enough?

Seek the surface
I can make it up
By not being perfect
I can make it up, I can make it up
I can make it up, I can make it up
I can make it up, I can make it up
I can make it up, can I make it up?

But what you wonder, if I'm crystal blue
But you were never clear enough
And every word to you is hard to say
'Cause words are never good enough

Can we get anywhere?
Paper thin paperweight
Are we close enough?
Close enough?

Seek the surface
I can make it up
By not being perfect
I can make it up, I can make it up (Seek the surface)
I can make it up, I can make it up
I can make it up, I can make it up (By not being perfect)
I can make it up, can I make it up?
I can make it up

Can we get anywhere?
Paper thin paperweight
Are we close enough?
I can make it up, I can make it up...

Seek the surface
Seek the surface
Seek the surface

<3 <3 <3 <3 ....

Isn't the first two lines, 'lately' instead of 'Make me'?

Word by word, what I experienced any eventually felt the pain from my break up with the girl I love

The real lyrics are a little different: https://genius.com/Bonobo-surface-lyrics

this song is perfect
2017 will be an odd, yet beautiful year

on repeat

This is my favorite in the album! love bonobo!!

Bonobo... seriously?

My favourite in the Album!

What song has he sampled here?? Can anyone recognise it? I can't remember what it's called

Fave tune from the album (up to now )

⏸ ♍ 🆘 🇦🇿

Greetings from Russia. Thank you for this music...

Such a f***** great artist! Incredible music. it always gives me peace.

My love for Bonobos music goes beyond the Surface

Even beyond a Second Sun.

Beyond the Black Sands

Captain the puggy I'm All In Form and won't Break Apart the great Migration to this artist has begun.... Emkay (okay)

booooooo all of you

Breath-taking work, as always from Bonobo

Thanks for the correct lyrics @n miglis

*
lately i've been paper-thin
so why can't i fly
why can't i move with the wind on a whim
i saw a side of you i never knew
were we ever near enough
all we have to do it talk it through
but words are never good enough
they only get in your way
a paper-thin paper weight
are we close enough
we're close enough
see the surface
i can make it up
might not be perfect
but i can make it up
(i can make it up)
what'd you want to hear
i'm crystal clear
but were you never clear enough
if it were two-way it's hard to say
cause words are never good enough
they only get in your way
paper-thin paper weight
are we close enough
we're close enough
see the surface
i can make it up
might not be perfect
but i can make it up
i can make it up

<3

These make so much more sense!

also pretty sure this is the actual Nicole Miglis, as she replied a day after this with these lyrics, correcting ones I had found

Karl S I wonder why Google play and lyrics sites have different ones?

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒. . .

For one second I thought I was listening to Kiara. Great song anyway

Isn't this the singer from Hundred Waters? Sounds really familiar.
