Surrender
Surrender to Unspoken Longings: A Musical Tale of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
She reads a book from across the street
Observing a woman reading a book from a distance.
Waiting for someone that she'll never meet
Anticipating someone who will never be met.
Talk over coffee for an hour or two
Imagining conversations over coffee lasting for hours.
She wonders why I'm always in a good mood
Questioning why the speaker is consistently in a positive mood.
Killing time before she struts her stuff
Passing time before the woman showcases herself.
She needs support and I've become the crutch
Becoming a support system for her, like a crutch.
She'll never know how much she means to me
Expressing deep feelings, though she remains unaware.
I'd play the game but I'm the referee
Unable to actively pursue a relationship, stuck in a referee role.
(Surrender) every word, every thought, every sound
Urging surrender to various aspects of the relationship.
(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
Knowing what is desired but facing barriers.
She's got a brick wall behind her door
Reference to a barrier (brick wall) in her life.
I'd travel time and confess to her
Willing to confess feelings, fearing a negative reaction.
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger
Fearing that conveying the message might be detrimental.
(Surrender) every word, every thought, every sound
Reiteration of the call to surrender in the relationship.
(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
Metaphor of finding a special person in a challenging environment.
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?
Expressing a desire for the woman to belong to the speaker.
Every word, every thought, every sound
Reiteration of surrendering to various aspects of the relationship.
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
Continued emphasis on surrendering in the relationship.
(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
Expressing uncertainty and regret about missed opportunities.
(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
Reiterating the speaker's lack of courage to ask important questions.
