The Smith Street Band - Surrender lyrics
[The Smith Street Band - Surrender lyrics]
I'm not from around here so
I think with my mouth
Grew up a comfortable distance from
Where I am now
So grab me like the animals we
Were always supposed to be
In these terrace house jungles
We'll swing from the rooftops
Knowing nothing of the one-way streets
Far underneath our feet
There's a life outside these bottles
There's a life right here for me
But you don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if
You don't want to
And I'll sit quiet if I have to go home
Listening to rubber
Disturbed water and whatever was on the radio
We should be climbing chainlink
Fences with backpacks, nowhere to go
And am I satisfied or did I just
Come to terms with the hunger?
Blame me all my life
Made me live harder when I was younger
But you don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if
You don't want to
You asked me if I'm drinking again
You say it like it's a good thing
But you don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if
You don't want to
I've got my white flag with
Me here just for you
And the ease of repetition
Was filling my days
And I was comfortably killing myself in
A myriad of different ways
And I'm not from around here
So I talk like I've been saved
I think with my mouth
Grew up a comfortable distance from
Where I am now
So grab me like the animals we
Were always supposed to be
In these terrace house jungles
We'll swing from the rooftops
Knowing nothing of the one-way streets
Far underneath our feet
There's a life outside these bottles
There's a life right here for me
But you don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if
You don't want to
And I'll sit quiet if I have to go home
Listening to rubber
Disturbed water and whatever was on the radio
We should be climbing chainlink
Fences with backpacks, nowhere to go
And am I satisfied or did I just
Come to terms with the hunger?
Blame me all my life
Made me live harder when I was younger
But you don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if
You don't want to
You asked me if I'm drinking again
You say it like it's a good thing
But you don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if you don't
You don't have to surrender if
You don't want to
I've got my white flag with
Me here just for you
And the ease of repetition
Was filling my days
And I was comfortably killing myself in
A myriad of different ways
And I'm not from around here
So I talk like I've been saved
