lyrics

Driving in reverse—not going towards, but coming from.
Slow down this road, I don't know it so well.
These outstretched condor wings of my home have flown away,
And all these houses look the same.

I surrender to these shadows chasing after me,
Their laughter fills the words and melodies that I can't sing.
She is there, she is always in my memory,
With the boy I used to be.

The projector shows the moments I was in her arms.
I wish that I had just held on.
I sleep alone to greet the days that show how much I've changed.
To me she'll always be the same.

I surrender to these shadows chasing after me,
Their laughter fills the words and melodies that I can't sing.
She is there, she is always in my memory,
With the boy I used to be.

I won't let you go.

I surrender to these shadows chasing after me,
Their laughter fills the words and melodies that I can't sing.
She is there, she is always in my memory,
With the boy I used to be.

I surrender tonight, but I'm not giving up,
Throw my white flag out, and I'll raise it up.
I surrender tonight, but I'm not giving up,
Because I can't win without her love.
