Lyrics
I'm not from around here so I think with my mouth
Grew up a comfortable distance from where I am now
So grab me like the animals we were always supposed to be
From these terrace house jungles we'll swing from the rooftops
Knowing nothing of the one-way streets far underneath our feet
There's a life outside these bottles, there's a life right here for me
But you don't have to surrender, if you don't
You don't have to surrender, if you don't
You don't have to surrender, if you don't want to
And I'll sit quiet, if I have to go home
Listening to rubber, disturbed water and whatever was on the radio
We should be climbing chainlink fences with backpacks, nowhere to go
And am I satisfied or did I just come to terms with the hunger
Blame me all my life, made me live harder when I was younger
But you don't have to surrender, if you don't
You don't have to surrender, if you don't
You don't have to surrender, if you don't want to
You asked me if I'm drinking again
You say it like it's a good thing
But you don't have to surrender, if you don't
You don't have to surrender, if you don't
You don't have to surrender, if you don't want to
I've got my white flag with me here just for you
And the ease of repetition was filling my days
And I was comfortably killing myself in a myriad of different ways
And I'm not from around here, so I talk like I've been saved
