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'd play the game but I'm the referee
[Chorus:] 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
[Chorus:] 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
[Chorus:] 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
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask (Surrender) as my hope had come and passed
