Underneath Lyrics


Waking up this morning
Thinking this can't be real
They say there is nothing love can't heal
Why don't you come on down
So you can feel what I feel?

Sitting all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone
But there's something wrong

Can't you see
That I'm stuck here Underneath
And you make it hard to breathe?
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me underneath

I know what to say
But don't know where to begin
I fear I'm losing you beneath my skin
Is there resolution for this pain that I'm in?

Sitting all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone
But there's something wrong

Can't you see
That I'm stuck here underneath
And you make it hard to breathe?
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me underneath
'Cause you'll find me, whoa, underneath

If only you could feel what I dream
Maybe you could hear what I mean
There is nothing gone

But there's something missing
Can't you see
That I'm stuck here underneath
And you make it hard to breathe?
Take a look around and tell me what you see

You'll find me underneath
You'll find me underneath
Underneath, underneath

Underneath
  • The band wrote this with Matthew Sweet, a critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter who had a Modern Rock hit in 1991 with "Girlfriend." They met through a mutual friend when Hanson was working on the album, so they got together and wrote this in about 4 hours. Zac Hanson, the band's drummer, told us: "Songs can take sometimes years, songs can come together in a couple of moments. The fluidity of how that song came together with Matthew and how natural it felt to write it with him was pretty cool."
  • Zac Hanson: "Matthew came in with a chord pattern and then everybody sort of built off of that, focusing on an idea or a word or a melody part and then you sort of build out from there. It is an intense song, it's a song that I think everyone can relate to - 'Sitting all alone in this place, even though we're here face to face,' just talking about that ultimate disconnect, where you're right here, but you're not right here, and I think everyone's felt that in some form or another or will feel that in their life. It was just a meaningful song, and really a pillar for the whole album. After that song was written, just the way that song was, the way we recorded it and the sounds we used, it was a cornerstone for the whole record. That was part of the reason we called the album Underneath, in addition to the blatant meaning of a step deeper into who we are." (Check out our interview with Zac Hanson.)
