Surrender
Echo And The Bunnymen · Other Songs - Echo And The Bunnymen
I made you stay awhile, giving you my number
A foolish love, a kiss that I
I could have turned away
But instead I surrender
As I close my eyes, you stay up to catch me fallin'
Opportunities arise when the other isn't lookin', isn't lookin'
A foolish love, a kiss that I
I blew it all sky high
When I surrender
Oh, love is often heard, well, it isn't gettin' over
After all it's just a word, what lies within
It's often [Incomprehensible]
A small [Incomprehensible] one kiss and I
I should have walked away
But instead I surrender
(Instead, instead)
This could be good, this could be right
We could be heading for a ride
Sit on the fence, don't lose the night
You'll never know until you try
Oh, baby
This could be good, this could be right
We could be heading for a ride
Sit on the fence, don't take all night
You'll never know until you try
Oh, baby
This could be good, this could be right
We could be heading for a ride
Sit on the fence, don't lose the night
You'll never know until you try
Oh, babe
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
