Lay Down My Arms
Surrendering for Love: Alexa Dark's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I'd lay down my arms
I am willing to surrender or give up my defenses
For a chance in yours
I am willing to take a risk for an opportunity to be with you
Call it a draw
Suggesting a compromise, proposing a truce
Just to end this war
Expressing a desire to end conflicts or disagreements
Since you left
Since your departure
I've begged for an encore
I have pleaded for another performance or chance
Go to our places
Returning to familiar locations
Find you in faces
Searching for your presence in others
But I still want more
Despite past experiences, I still crave more of you
Tears cried
Shedding tears to correct my mistakes
To right my wrongs
Admitting to falsehoods, pretending to have moved on
I lie
A confession of deception
Say I've moved on
False assertion of having overcome the past
Now we're riding down Sunset
Describing a journey down Sunset Boulevard
Like the cowboys do
Comparing the experience to how cowboys live
I was dying for one
Originally desiring just one, now living for two
Now I'm living for two
Raising questions about the challenges of the current path
But what if this road
Contemplating the ability of the relationship to endure
Can't handle us?
Following celestial guidance, closing social settings
I follow the stars
Expressing uncertainty about understanding love
Close down the bars
Revisiting familiar places for answers
But what do I know about love?
Admitting lack of knowledge about love
Tears cried
Repeating the theme of tears to rectify mistakes
To right my wrongs
Continuation of the emotional struggle and regret
I lie
Repeating the lie of having moved on
Say I've moved on
Repeating the false claim of having overcome the past
Trapped in our history
Feeling confined by the shared past
Reasons we're meant to be
Believing there are compelling reasons for the connection
Call me a mystery
Identifying as an enigma, yet claiming self-understanding
But I've figured it out
Asserting clarity about the situation
And I know we've said it all before
Accepting the familiarity of past conversations
But I'd lay down my arms
Reiteration of the willingness to give up defenses
For a chance in yours
Repeating the desire for an opportunity in your arms
