Surrender

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 [Chorus] 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 With me all my life, made me live harder when I was younger [Chorus] You asked me if I'm drinking again You say it like it's a good thing [Chorus] 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
