Surrounded

Yes
There is something to be said
About living in your head
And never missing rent
And yes
There's a charm to the art
Of not falling apart
Inside your house of cards

But you can only count on old faithful 'til the day it loses faith
And then you're gonna need a new fable when the pages fade away

I want to be
Surrounded by
The ones who love me
I want to be
Surrounded
Surrounded

No
It's not hard to live alone
When your heart is made of stone
And fear is all you've known
But no, no no
I don't want to waste my days
Under cover in the shade
Where no one knows my name

'Cause you can only count on old faithful 'til the day he loses faith
And then you're gonna need a new label to replace it as it fades

I want to be
Surrounded by
The ones who love me
I want to be
Surrounded
Surrounded
Before I go
Go
Go
Go

Always wanted love like the silver screen showed
Found myself stuck in the mezzanine, though
Lone heart, I fold cards and visit these old
Cinematic theatrics, empathetic to them
But pathetic within, bet I would win it if I let anyone in
Even when I'm close to getting it, I hit my limit
Flying the coop's my prison, my remedy if I feel exposed
No intimacy so love remains a mystery
Initially I kept falling into a syncope
Triggered by the overwhelming ripples and their symmetry
But these memories repressed since infancy
Are complementing every single section of my symphony
So we snap into a reverie, passing past the present
I'm unwrapping my presents and I'm twenty-three
Blowing candles out, where everything changes
The year I ran away, made my getaway saying
It's really getting so much colder on the ocean front
Where I used to go confront my fears and watch the golden sun
Relieve my stress with serotonin I'd just soak it up
But now this frozen tundra's only something that I hope
To someday cozy up again, when I'm old enough to spend
More time relaxing, that is, if I don't give up 'til then
Placed my youth in a box of my memories
Titled it "Never Going Back", and locked it in a cemetery
And oh, what it meant to me

'Cause you can only count on old faithful 'til the day she loses faith
And then you're gonna need a new fable when the pages fade away

I want to be
Surrounded by
The ones who love me
I want to be
Surrounded
Surrounded
Before I go

I want to be
Surrounded by
The ones who love me
I want to be
Surrounded
Surrounded
Before I go
Go
Go
Go
