This is my opinion and I hope this makes the other view for people who never thought in this way.
Japanese people use an idiom of 'net surfing' (I am Japanese and so I am not sure whether non-Japanese use this idiom or not, sorry :x)
I guess the term of "surfing" in this lyrics is referring to it.
So, surfing here means how she acts (because most of the time she is connecting to internet or electrical devices and etc...).
Waking up might mean that when she does not connect to those things, so when she is truly herself, I wonder what she does.
Also 'surfing' here means how she solve the problem and communicate with people to go through her life. Thus, she perfectly surfs, in the story (not about her past).
This was my view. I hope people understand what I try to say.
Thank you for reading :)
p.s. I try to watch this anime in English, but it was hell difficult for me to understand. However, I could see it a little different from how the characters speak and I like both in English and Japanese.
@okuhira Americans also use the terms "internet surfing" or "surfing the net." In fact, I'm surprised that most of the others who posted didn't pick up on that. You also came up with an interesting metaphor -- we all surf through our lives, I suppose.
