Surreal (featuring Leiah)

(1999)

“ One of the few duets I’ve written, and the first song I ever wrote on the guitar. Coming out of an unhealthy relationship, I wanted to deliver an abstract account of the emotions involved when the attraction between two people relies on conflict. “

Anduze:
Take it or leave it, it’s the best I can do
You choose to feel your feelings when you want to
Don’t try to fall behind
The surface was broken for the better
I’ll try to realize when I would not let you be
PRE CHORUS:
Is it in my head? To make matters worse…
I walked along the edge, to make matters worse…
CHORUS:
So surreal, this experience that I feel
So surreal, the way I feel

Leiah:
You took your chances
You spoke your mind so freely
I can’t tread water long enough to make you see
Don’t try to pull ahead
The surface was broken for the better
I’ll try to realize when I would not let you be
