Where Can I Surrender
Yearning for Love's Captivity
Lyrics
Ever want to runaway?
Feeling the desire to escape or run away.
Ever want to leave?
Having the urge to leave or depart.
Never want to hang around?
Not wanting to stay or linger around.
Never want to grieve?
Not wanting to experience sorrow or sadness.
If love turned into labor
Imagining love as a form of labor or work.
I would just resign
Expressing a willingness to give up on love.
Working through the hard times never crossed my mind
Never considering the idea of working through relationship difficulties.
And I'm guilty of entering and breaking hearts so dear
Admitting to causing emotional pain by entering and breaking hearts.
Guilty of unlawful flight and failing to appear
Confessing to actions that involve running away and avoiding responsibilities.
I've committed all the crimes of love, every felony
Acknowledging committing various "crimes" in the context of love.
Now, I have but once defense, to plead insanity
Claiming insanity as the only defense for the committed "crimes of love."
Where can I surrender?
Pleading for a place or opportunity to surrender in the context of love.
I'm tired of being free
Expressing weariness of being free from the constraints of love.
I want love to come and make a prisoner out of me
Desiring to be imprisoned by love.
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
Metaphorically requesting to be locked in a deep and enduring love.
Events have come full circle now
Indicating a full circle in life events, possibly a return to loneliness.
I spend my nights alone
Spending nights in solitude after love has departed.
Where love was once so full and free
Reflecting on a past when love was abundant and unrestricted.
Love had up and gone
Acknowledging the absence of love.
If the Good Lord should see fit to bring
Hoping for the return of love from a higher power.
Sweet love my way again
Expressing a willingness to cherish love if it returns.
I'll die before I run away
Choosing to face challenges in love rather than running away.
And be the fool I've been
Preferring not to repeat past mistakes and foolish actions in love.
Where can I surrender?
Reiterating the desire to surrender in the context of love.
I'm tired of being free
Expressing fatigue from the freedom of being without love.
I want love to come and make a prisoner out of me
Reiterating the desire to be captured by love.
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
Metaphorically requesting to be confined in a profound love.
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
Emphasizing the desire to be securely held in love without escape.
