Billy Talent - Surrender

Sorry, I know some of my readers may not enjoy this song, but I really do. And the words remind me of what I'm thinking right now..

She reads a book from across the street
Waiting for someone that she'll never meet
Talk over coffee for an hour or two
She wonders why I'm always in a good mood

Killing time before she struts her stuff
She needs support and I've 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 looking for
She's got a brick wall behind her door
I'd travel time and confess to her
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger

[CHORUS]

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
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?

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)
I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender)
Has my moment come and passed?
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender)
Has your 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

Not bad at all. You had me all prepared for rubbish.

I'm glad you liked it. I try to share my music tastes but I can never predict who will like what.. Or hate it. I'm usually wrong though :P

I truly like some of everything. My family's got a lot of interests, and they all grew on me. Alternative rock, punk, country, a little rap, some hip-hop, old-school stuff, musicals, etc. So most of what you post will appeal to some part of my tastes, no matter how small.

Awesome. I like people who at least appreciate all types of music. I hate people who are like I will only listen to what is on 103.9 and if you change the station or show me a non-mainstream band I will scream until you change it back. That was a bit of an exaggeration, I've never heard anyone say that exact thing.. But still. I'm not much of a fan of country or rap/hip-hop but I listen to some and I even like some of the good stuff. I'll post more music and tell me if you like it at all. :D

For sure. And I definitely agree: every genre of music has its high points, and each has a reason for appreciation. I hate when people blindly detest something simply because it falls under a certain genre.

i really like the lyrics. i think that the music could have done better though. it doesn't mesh for me.
