Surrender

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
