I SURRENDER

My ship came in and then it sunk
So I set sail to find some junk
Found myself passed out drunk
And I did it on my own
I could say you took control of me
But I gave it willingly
I did not want to be set free
Or to be alone
I surrender I surrender once again

I planted seeds in a battlefield
Hoping for a bumper yield
Told everyone I got a raw deal
But I got what I deserve
So I’ll standin line and wait my turn
But patience is taking forever to learn
After all the time I’ve burned
There’s a sentence left to serve
I surrender I surrender once again

So I wave the white flag high
I couldn’t change this if I tried
Guess I’ll just be satisfied
To let it be
I surrender I surrender once again


Like any hopeless romantic would do
I painted myself in the picture with you
Now my palette is all shades of blue
And my canvas is bare
So I go to work and punch the clock
Put on chains and break the rocks
Try not to engage in the idle talk
Of a dreamer in despair
I surrender I surrender
I surrender I surrender once again
