lyrics

Surrender

I hate this waiting
I’m afraid of latency
I was delayed
From the first moment on, you see
I need tons of time
And I don’t have the time
I have been waiting for a woman like you my dear
Come out of the shade
My sky’s turned blue
And if you need some time
Just take it
I know what it is

Always intrigued
By the books and the stories I know
Stories of gold
Always struck
By fiction and songs about love

But instead of this waiting
I could walk and feel weightless
Wade into your water
Get wet and act shameless
I could stop wondering
Wondering, wondering
What it is

I could walk to the stars
Hand over my heart to yours
Just because
I could be naked untouchable
Tender and tough
Surrender

Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender

Here I sit in this waiting room
I know it by heart
Writing my songs of gloom
As I did from the start
I described every fact
And it didn’t show me how to act

I should walk to the stars
Hand over my heart to yours
Just because
I should be naked untouchable
Tender and tough
Surrender

Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
