Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Kick the door, maybe sulk even more
Stomp up and down the floor
Say that you're done
Throw something, maybe try not to sing
Get rid of everything
Say that you've tried
[Verse 2]
Kick the door, maybe sulk even more
Stomp up and down the floor
Say that you're done
Throw something, maybe try not to sing
Get rid of everything
Say that you've tried
[Verse 3]
Then perhaps the tide will stay at bay
And the sun refuse to shine
Perhaps the night will take the day
Or winter then take summertime
Perhaps some clouds won't carry tears
Flowers will forget to bloom
Perhaps some love will disappear
When hearts decide there's no more room
[Chorus]
If you decide to look away
It's a lonely fight either way
Yes, you will stumble along the way
Honest feet always find their way
If you decide to look away
It's a lonely fight either way
Yes, you will stumble along the way
Honest feet always find their way
[Verse 4]
Roll your eyes, act like you hate surprises
Just tell them that you despise it all and you're through
Tear things up, decide you're outta luck
Go on and pass the buck, say that it's over
[Verse 5]
Then perhaps rainbows will turn up grey
Morning dew will make things dry
Perhaps oceans won't drink the rain
Deserts will begin to cry
Perhaps some flames will flicker cool
And the wind forget to blow
Perhaps some joy will leave the room
When truth just leaves its shadow
[Chorus]
If you decide to look away
It's a lonely fight either way
Yes, you will stumble along the way
Honest feet always find their way
If you decide to look away
It's a lonely fight either way
Yes, you will stumble along the way
Honest feet always find their way
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Surrender
[Outro]
What does it mean to take root?
To stand where you are and feel planted?
To have faith in the unseen, the unknown
That which has yet to yield, and decide to be still
To hold yourself, surrender, and grow
