Talent for Surrender
Echoes of Surrender: Jeffrey Gaines' Melodic Tale of Vulnerability
Lyrics
I walk alone tonight
I am walking alone tonight.
It's a lonely night
The night feels lonely.
Till I see you
The loneliness fades when I see you.
We've done this thing before
We have experienced this situation in the past.
You look as though your plans might easily change
You seem flexible in your plans.
Hello again
Hello again, acknowledging a recurring connection.
We've done this thing before
Reiterating a shared experience from the past.
Now I know just what one and one can do
Now I understand the potential of unity.
Cause I see one and one
I observe the combination of two entities.
A lot of people around
Despite many people around, my focus is on you.
All I care about is you
You are the primary concern for me.
I try to play it right but as I remember
Attempting to act correctly, recalling past attempts.
We've got this talent for surrender
We possess a skill or inclination for giving in or yielding.
We've got this talent for surrender
Reaffirmation of the ability to surrender.
Your shining web is wide and set for me
Your attractive influence is extensive and prepared for me.
And I pretend that I don't see
Pretending not to notice the web of attraction.
You ask about the past and do I miss it much
You inquire about the past and my feelings about it.
And I pretend that I don't hear
Pretending not to hear or acknowledge the question.
I recall how it used to be
Recalling how things used to be.
When we'd go round and round
Reflecting on repetitive and aimless patterns of the past.
The same old thing so aimlessly
You make me feel like I still have a chance or possibility.
Now you make me think I'm still a contender
Emphasizing the skill or inclination for surrender.
Cause we've got this talent for surrender
Reiteration of the ability or tendency to surrender.
We've got this talent for surrender
Emphasizing the recurring theme of surrender.
And you would
A reference to an unspecified action or commitment.
Said you could
Expressing capability or assurance to make things right.
Make it right any night
Confidence in making corrections any night.
We've got this talent for surrender
Reaffirming the talent or tendency for surrender.
