Surrender
I’d like to give up, I’d like to surrender now
I’d like to give up, I’d like to surrender now
I’d like to give up, I’d like to remember how
Indeed I’ve been brave
I’ve braved my life away
But now I’m ready to give
I’m here to surrender
Blow full retreat
I lay all my guns at your feet
I am leaving
So why aren’t you leaving
Please just go
So I can let go, and finally start over now
Yeah, I’d like to let go, I’d like to start over now
I’d like to just go, and to find my way home
Somehow

This is probably the one song of mine that people has expressed the most praise for. I’m not sure I believe that’s due to the lyrics though… It’s simply an expression of my struggle to get over a broken heart – my supposed inability to let go of anything.
I really like the “surrender now” – “remember how” rhyme in the first chorus. That’s very much to the point. Beyond that, every time I play this song with the band, by the time we get to the outro I pretty much start to cry. I guess the music follows the general emotion of the song pretty well. That’s also very much the point.
