With You

Surfaces' song "With You" is a heartfelt ode to a deep and enduring relationship that stands the test of time and fame. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and appreciation for a partner who has been there through thick and thin. The opening lines, "Oh, I've been waiting all day just to press rewind," suggest a desire to relive cherished moments and a yearning for connection. This sentiment is further emphasized by the repeated waiting for a call, highlighting the importance of communication and presence in the relationship.

The song also touches on the theme of loyalty and understanding. The lines, "'Cause you were there since way before we got all famous / And you'll be there when we probably end up nameless," reflect a bond that transcends external success and public recognition. This partner is portrayed as someone who truly understands the artist's "language" and supports them through various phases of life. The repetition of "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" and "Oh, you're the only one who understands my language" underscores the depth of this connection.

In the chorus, the lyrics, "Oh, I don't care what we do-do, do-do, do-do / Oh, I just wanna be with you," capture the essence of the song's message: the simple joy of being together, regardless of the activity or circumstance. The imagery of riding through the city with the seat leaned back and looking through a Kodak evokes a sense of carefree, timeless moments shared between the couple. The recurring line, "Way too fast, life is moving too fast," serves as a reminder to cherish these moments and the people who make them special, even as life rushes by.
