  • She reads a book from across the street
    Waiting for someone that she'll never meet
    Talk over coffee for an hour or two
    She wonders why I'm always in a good mood

    Killing time before she struts her stuff
    She needs support and I've become the crutch
    She'll never know how much she means to me
    I'd 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, it was found
    (Surrender) yourself to me

    Even though I know what I'm looking for
    She's got a brick wall behind her door
    I'd 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 a flower in a field of weeds
    I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
    Searching until my hands bleed
    This flower don't belong to me
    I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
    I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
    Searching until my hands bleed
    This flower don't belong to me
    This flower don't belong to me
    Why can't 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) Has my moment come and passed?
    (Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
    (Surrender) Has my moment come and passed?
    (Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
    (Surrender) Has my moment come and passed?
    (Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask Writer/s: Aaron Solowoniuk, Ben Kowalewicz, Ian D'sa, Jon Gallant

  • Billy from Calgary, CanadaDepressing. But yeah, Steve pretty much got it right on. The lyrics aren't that hard to read at all.
  • Dortez from Mesa, AzSeems about self explanatory from the lyrics...its a pretty rad song.
