Been turning around and play some foolish games I let the fire but I didn′t keep the flame Looking back to see they′re all the same Until the day I said your name
Once in my heart can show the price I′ve paid I have seen it in many times and call it that day May be I should have let you go I just care to make you stay
Something in your eyes makes me realize I will have to surrender My heart rolling faster And it lost its last I surrender to love
Never felt anything like this before It′s like the roads I took were leading me to your door When I can′t feel anything, anymore It′s you was I looking for?
Don′t know if forever can be mine But whenever I′m with you I want to take that jag
She reads a book from across the street, Whenever someone that she′ll never meet. Talk over coffee for an hour or two, She wonders why I′m always in a good mood. Killin′ time before she struts her stuff, She needs supporting, I′ll become the crutch. She′ll never know how much she means to me. I play the game but I′m the referee.
Surrender every word, every thought every sound. Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown. Surrender all the pain we′ve endured until now. Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found. Surrender yourself to me.
Even though I know what I′m lookin′ for, She′s got a brick wall behind her door. I travel time and confess to her, But I′m afraid she′d shoot the messenger.
Surrender every word, every thought every sound. Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown. Surrender all the pain we′ve endured until now. Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found. Surrender yourself to me.
I think I found her suffering the field of words, I think I found her frowning in a field of words. Searching until my hands bleed, This flower don′t belong to me.
I think I found her suffering the field of words, I think I found her frowning in a field of words. Searching until my hands bleed, This flower don′t belong to me. This flower don′t belong to me. Why could she belong to me?
Every word, every thought every sound. Every touch, every smile, every frown. All the pain we′ve endured until now. All the hope that I lost you have found.
Surrender every word, every thought every sound. Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown. Surrender all the pain we′ve endured until now. Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found. (Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask, (Surrender) as my hope had come and passed. (Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask, (Surrender) as my hope had come and passed. (Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask, (Surrender) as my hope had come and passed.
[V1] Do you know what it′s like when You′re scared to see yourself Do you know what it′s like when You wish you were someone else Who didn′t need your help to get by Do you know what it′s like To wanna surrender
[Chorus] I don′t wanna feel like this tomorrow I don′t wanna live like this today Make me feel better I wanna feel better Stay with me here And never surrender
[V2] Do you now what it′s like when You′re not who you wanna be Do you know what it′s like to Be your own worst enemy Who sees the things in me I can′t hide Do you know what it′s like to wanna surrender
[Bridge] Make me feel better You make me feel better You make me feel better Put me back together
So, here we are, all alone As the wine makes you mine for the night Soft is the way that you feel And hard is the way that we breathe In, out, we′re moving Around with the dirt on the floor I know what I lack is devotion And I can′t fight this off anymore...
[CHORUS:] We′ll go surrender to the night We won′t look back at our lives And when you sleep, I′ll be there To kiss your lips, to breathe your air Right or wrong, it must go on After this night, we′ll leave it all behind
Two hearts beat as one As I open my eyes Well do you want me to keep going? Cause I have already come all undone...
[CHORUS]
Now she′s calling And it hurts me to go Away from my favourite addiction There′s no way that she′ll ever know...
We′ll go surrendering to our lives When you sleep, I′ll be there To kiss your lips, to breathe your air Right or wrong, it can′t go on After this night, we′ll leave it all behind But I′m still feeling Drawn to you In my dreams So it seems The man in me always Gets his way Never pays For what he′s done I need you now love, love, love I crave you now love, love, love
My mother told me Yes she told me I’d meet girls like you She also told me stay away She’ll fall in love with you And just the other day I heard them talking in the halls About the junk that’s going around
Mommy’s all right And daddy’s all right They just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender, just don’t give yourself away, away
Whatever happened to all this season’s losers of the year And everytime I got to thinking, then they disappear And then I come home, mom and dad are fucking on the couch Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, and Cheap Trick′s bouncing off the ceiling
Mommy’s all right And daddy’s all right They just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender, (yeah)
Mommy’s all right And daddy’s all right They just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender, just don’t give yourself away, away yeah
Surrender, surrender, surrender (mommys all right) surrender, surrender (daddys all right) surrender, surrender
Mommy’s all right And daddy’s all right They just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender, just don’t give yourself away, away
Mommy’s all right And daddy’s all right They just seem a little weird Mommy’s all right And daddy’s all right They just seem a little weird Mommy’s all right And daddy’s all right They just seem a little weird Mommy’s all right And daddy’s all right Surrender……
So, here we are, all alone As the wine makes you mine for the night Soft is the way that you feel And hard is the way that we breathe In, out, we′re moving Around with the dirt on the floor I know what I lack is devotion And I can′t fight this off anymore...

Mother told me, yes, she told me I′d meet girls like you. She also told me, "Stay away, you′ll never know what you′ll catch." Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that′s going round.
Mommy′s alright, Daddy′s alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Father says, "Your mother′s right, she′s really up on things." "Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines." Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war. But mommy isn′t one of those, I′ve known her all these years.
Mommy′s alright, Daddy′s alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Whatever happened to all this season′s losers of the year? Ev′ry time I got to thinking, where′d they disappear? When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch. Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.
Mommy′s alright, Daddy′s alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Is it that we′ve been together much too long The answer may not be in black and white We′re always tryin′ to prove who′s right or wrong And now we′re givin′ up without a fight
But I know when you′re gone I wish I held on So baby surrender to me There′ll be no holding back now So baby surrender to me Tonight
I don′t want our love To cause you so much pain If this is how it′s gonna be I′ll walk away Oh neither one of us Should ever say goodbye Let′s forget about the past and who′s to blame
Cause when this is all gone We′ll wish we′d held on So baby surrender to me There′ll be no holding back now So baby surrender to me Tonight
How could this love be in danger Used to be so good So right To think that faith could make us strangers Slowly in your arms Tonight
So baby surrender to me There′ll be no holding back now So baby surrender to me Tonight
My hands hold safly to my dreams Clutching tightly not one has fallen So many years I′ve shaped each one Reflecting my heart showing who I am Now you′re asking me to show What I′m holding oh so tightly Can′t open my hands can′t let go Does it matter? Should I show you? Can′t you let me go?
Surrender, surrender you whisper gently You say I will be free I know but can′t you see? My dreams are me. My dreams are me
You say you have a plan for me And that you want the best for my life Told me the world had yet to see What you can do with one That′s committed to Your calling I know of course what I should do That I can′t hold these dreams forever If I give them now to You Will You take them away forever? Or can I dream again?
I′ve never felt this way before There′s nothing else I could want more Than something real, only passion can reveal
With body and soul, I′m used to controlling every, everything Now, I can let go, let down my guard And we′ll see how far this love can go
CHORUS: I surrender my heart, I′m giving up And I don′t wanna fight, I just wanna love I surrender it all, I′m giving in To the power of love - surrender
This feels too god, can′t bring me down Feels like I could never touch the ground And how I′ve waited, truer love anticipated
With body and mind, I know that there′s time for every, everything Now I can let go, let down my guard And how I′ve waited, truer love anticipated
CHORUS
With body and soul, I′m used to controlling every, everything Now, I can let go, let down my guard And we′ll see how far this love can go
You were full and fully capable You were self sufficient and needless Your house was fully decorated in that sense
You were taken with me to a point A case of careful what you wish for But what you knew was enough to begin
And so you called and courted fiercely So you reached out, entirely fearless And yet you knew of reservation and how it serves
And I salute you for your courage And I applaud your perseverance And I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces That I represent
So you were in but not entirely You were up for this but not totally You knew how arms length - ing can maintain doubt
And so you fell and you′re intact So you dove in and you′re still breathing So you jumped and you′re still flying if not shocked
And I support you in your trusting And I commend you for your wisdom And I′m amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forces That I represent
You found creative ways to distance You hid away from much through humor Your choice of armor was your intellect
And so you felt and you′re still here And so you died and you′re still standing And so you softened and you′re still safely in command
Self protection was in times of true danger Your best defense to mistrust and be wary Surrendering a feat of unequalled measure And I′m thrilled to let you in Overjoyed to be let in in kind
I tied myself with wire To let the horses roam free Playing with the fire Until the fire played with me
The stone was semi-precious We were barely conscious Two souls too smart to be In the realm of certainty Even on our wedding day
We set ourselves on fire Oh God, do not deny her It’s not if I believe in love If love believes in me Oh, believe in me
At the moment of surrender I folded to my knees I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me
I’ve been in every black hole At the altar of the dark star My body’s now a begging bowl That’s begging to get back, begging to get back To my heart To the rhythm of my soul To the rhythm of my unconsciousness To the rhythm that yearns To be released from control
I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine I could see in the reflection A face staring back at me At the moment of surrender Of vision over visibility I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me
I was speeding on the subway Through the stations of the cross Every eye looking every other way Counting down ’til the train would stop
At the moment of surrender Of vision of over visibility I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me
There′s so much life I′ve left to live And this fire′s burning still When I watch you look at me I think I could find the will To stand for every dream And forsake the solid ground And give up this fear within Of what would happen if they ever knew I′m in love with you
′cause I′d surrender everything To feel the chance to live again I reach to you I know you can feel it to We′d make it through A thousand dreams I still believe I′d make you give them all to me I′d hold you in my arms and never let go I surrender
I know I can′t survive Another night away from you You′re the reason I go on And now I need to live the truth Right now, there′s no better time From this fear I will break free And I′ll live again with love And no the they can′t take that away from me And they will see...
′cause I′d surrender everything To feel the chance to live again I reach to you I know you can feel it too We′d make it through A thousand dreams I still believe I′d make you give them all to me I′d hold you in my arms and never let go I surrender
Every night′s getting longer And this fire is getting stronger, babe I′ll swallow my pride and I′ll be alive Did you hear my call I surrender all
′cause I′d surrender everything To feel the chance to live again I reach to you I know you can feel it too We′d make it through A thousand dreams I still believe I′d make you give them all to me I′d hold you in my arms and never let go I surrender
Right here, right now I give my life to live again I′ll break free, take me My everything I surrender all to you
Right here, right now I give my life to live again I break free, take me My everything I surrender all to you
Is it that we′ve been together much too long The answer may not be in black and white We′re always tryin′ to prove who′s right or wrong And now we′re givin′ up without a fight
But I know when you′re gone I wish I held on So baby surrender to me There′ll be no holding back now So baby surrender to me Tonight
I don′t want our love To cause you so much pain If this is how it′s gonna be I′ll walk away Oh neither one of us Should ever say goodbye Let′s forget about the past and who′s to blame
Cause when this is all gone We′ll wish we′d held on So baby surrender to me There′ll be no holding back now So baby surrender to me Tonight
How could this love be in danger Used to be so good So right To think that faith could make us strangers Slowly in your arms Tonight
So baby surrender to me There′ll be no holding back now So baby surrender to me Tonight
(Chas Sanford) You and I stood on separate sides If we get too close we′d only hide Any other way but face to face And I′d be willin′ to give you all So take a little you don′t have to fall If you want the fruits, you′ll have to taste
Chorus: Surrender, so I can give you my love Surrender, I don′t wanna be the one Tuggin′ on an empty sleeve I can′t stop ′cause all I need girl is you
Now everybody knows I′m stuck on you So what′s with all these games that we go through You can take your time and watch me walk away
[Chorus]
Don′t ya see I been riding out the tide Patient right from the start But all this waiting′s like an arrow in my side Look at me, can′t you see my heart Beat, beat, beat, beating for
[Chorus]
I could be the one that you′ve waited for But you′ll never know once I shut the door I′m gonna make my move, don′t let me walk away
