Just Surrender Phoenix Lyrics
1.Intro


2.Through The Night

And I am the next best thing to what you have lost
Tonight we are looking for your next regret
And I have never cared much about the cost
Tonight we are looking for a way to forget

And this roller coaster I call life,
It gets me up, gets me high
Sometimes I still don't believe it
Sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes I wonder why I live this way
It gets me through, it gets me through the night

I am the kiss on your neck that turns you on
And tonight I'm here to make you sweat
I have never saw much of right and wrong
Tonight you'll take what you can get

And this roller coaster I call life,
It gets me up, gets me high
Sometimes I still don't believe it
Sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes I wonder why I live this way
It gets me through, it gets me through the night
Sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes I wonder why I lose my mind
It gets me through, it gets me through the night

Right now
I gave up my sanity
Right now
And it's just where my heart couldn't sleep
Right now
I sold all my dignity
I can't fight the feeling, I'm giving up everything
Right now
I'm losing my decency.
Right now
I hope that I find clarity.
Right now
If we hold the tempo we can make it through the night

And this roller coaster I call life,
It gets me up, gets me high
Sometimes I still don't believe it
Sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes I wonder why I live this way
It gets me through, it gets me through the night
Sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes I wonder why I lose my mind
It gets me through, it gets me through the night


3.Take Me Home

It's a 'touch', and the 'change' that threw me off,
Just another of those lines you bent to cross,
It's safe to say that this night's already heading in the wrong
direction,
Well who's to blame for you being away?
You know that's nothing for you to say,
I needed something to hide the pain,
So what's your reason for leaving now?
You never cared much for this place anyhow,
Oh, Foolish girl,
You know that the past will always catch you,
So just take me home,
'Cause I need to be alone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
All the awful things she did while I was gone,

It was a look on his face that turned her on,
How could this feel so right,
And go so wrong?
It's safe to say that you were never ready to let me be your one
and only,
It's just a shame that you threw it away,
Trust me, I think about it everyday,
Just wish there's some way to make her stay,
Just another reason to leave this town,
I never cared much for this place anyhow,
Oh, Jealous boy,
You know that your problem never let you,
So just take me home,
'Cause I need to be alone,
All these songs play in my head,
All the awful things she said,
You can just take me home,
'Cause I'm feeling more alone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
All the awful things she did while I was gone,
So grab your keys,
We're leaving now,
Take me away,
Our time's run out,
I've been stuck in these shoes before,
So I know the worst is still in store,
Won't be afraid to just want more,
Than what lies in front of me,
I built this up to break you down,
And smear your name across this town,
Now as you dive into the sea,
I'm glad to see the violent green,
My only hope is that you drown,
One last way to make me proud,
I'll do just fine here on my own,
You'll never have to live alone,
Take me home,
I'm feeling more alone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
Of all that could have been,
So just take me home,
'Cause I need to be alone,
All these songs play in my head,
All the awful things she said,
You can just take me home,
'Cause I'm feeling more alone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
All the awful things she did while I was gone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
All the awful things she did while I was gone,
Take me home,
All these thoughts race through my head,
All the awful things she did while I was gone.


4.Crazy

Waking up, shake it off, draw a breath to fill your lungs.
I think it's time now to move...
All I ever needed was a reason for you leaving me here.
You never wanted me it's just that simple.
Did it make you scared to know you had to let go?
And, everything I did I always thought I did it for you.
Release those eyes, I swear we'll see the truth.
Your lust, your lips; we dare not speak the truth.
If you could be the one that will save me,
stop driving me crazy.
I think it's safe to say that you need me,
but you can't believe me.
I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, baby, crazy, crazy.
Girl, you got me going crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.
You made it clear that I was just a letdown.
You took a chance but it just turned out wrong, now.
And, every minute you'll just feel a little further away.
I never said that we were meant for greatness.
I guess sometimes I can't control my weakness.
Happens every time I go, every time I go, I go away...
Release those eyes, I swear we'll see the truth.
Your lust, your lips; we dare not speak the truth.
If you could be the one that will save me,
stop driving me crazy.
I think it's safe to say that you need me,
but you can't believe me.
I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, baby, crazy, crazy.
Girl, you got me going crazy, crazy, crazy, baby, crazy, crazy.
Girl, you got me going crazy, crazy, crazy, baby, crazy, crazy.
Girl, you got me going crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.

If you could be the one that will save me,
stop driving me crazy.
I think it's safe to say that you need me,
but you can't, you can't...
If you could be the one that will save me,
stop driving me crazy.
I think it's safe to say that you need me,
but you can't, you can't believe me.
I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, baby, crazy, crazy.
Girl, you got me going crazy, crazy, crazy, baby, crazy, crazy.
Girl, you got me going crazy, crazy, crazy, baby, crazy, crazy.
Girl, you got me going crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.
(If you could be the one that will save me...)
(Stop driving me crazy.)
(If you could be the one that will save me...)
(Stop driving me crazy.)
(If you could be the one that will save me...)
(Stop driving me crazy.)
(If you could be the one that will save me...)
(Stop driving me crazy.)


5.On My Own

It's nights like these, I can't believe what I would give for
open space.
A breath of fresh air in this damn place, each minute is more
than I can take.
And, I know that I should -
I wouldn't even change it if I thought I could.
I held on (held on), for so long (for so long).
Now time is all I needed.
I am on my own, but, I'm holding strong

I'm falling to pieces. I'm living each day like it's my last.
'Cause we had it all. We had it all, and we threw it away.
And, we threw it all away.
I'm falling to pieces, I'm falling pieces.

I've left my mark - before you left.
A spare way to nights in vacant beds.
Sleeping off my latest regret, and longing for what could have
been
And I know, it's all just part of answering the call.
But, my bones are cold. My feet are searching for the open road.
And, I'm on my own

I'm falling to pieces. I'm living each day like it's my last.
'Cause we had it all. We had it all, and we threw it away.
And, we threw it all away.
I'm falling to pieces, I'm falling pieces.
I'm falling to pieces, I'm falling pieces.

This life we lead, will be the death of me.
I've seen things, no man should ever see.

I'm falling to pieces. I'm living each day like it's my last.
'Cause we lost it all

I'm falling to pieces. I'm living each day like it's my last.
'Cause we had it all. We had it all, and we threw it away.
I'm falling to pieces. I'm living each day like it's my last.
'Cause we had it all. We had it all, and we threw it away.
And, we threw it all away.
I'm falling to pieces, I'm falling pieces.
I'm falling to pieces, I'm falling pieces.
I've seen things, no man should ever see.


6.Burning Up

Could you tell me if you ever really loved and lost and
tell was it worth it cause when you, you said goodbye

And if your love was just a game then
who's the one to take the blame when
you, you can't sleep at night

Cause deep inside I'm burning up from you
You let me down so many times, it's true
You play with fire and you're gonna lose
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you.

You walk the streets at night alone
then she calls you on the telephone
because she, she can't sleep at night

And now the night comes to an end,
as she grabs me by the hand.
She wants to know, do I want come home tonight
her bed is cold, she don't like to be alone

Cause deep inside I'm burning up from you
You let me down so many times, it's true
You play with fire and you're gonna lose
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Just take me somewhere far away from here
Tell that room where I won't show my fears
I don't want you to know the truth
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Cause deep inside I'm burning up from you
You let me down so many times, it's true
You play with fire and you're gonna lose
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Just take me somewhere far away from here
Tell that room where I won't show my fears
I don't want you to know the truth
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Burning up from the thought of you
Burning up from the thought of you
You play with fire and you're gonna lose
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Burning up from the thought of you
Burning up from the thought of you
Don't want you to know the truth
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you


7.Stronger Now

So this is it, you're under the knife
You can feel the pressure rising with the tension
Your destiny is calling (Pick up, pick up)
But the markets overcrowded (Let's eat 'em up)

I've seen the dream (I've seen the dream)
In all their eyes
And in the back of thinned lines you're a dollar sign
Sign the dotted line
See your name in lights

I stand alone
Because no one can save you when you've sunk this low
We're ditching the grammar
We all need to find our own
Why does it seem that no one can save their own soul
We're of the glitz and the glamorous

So this is what it's going down to
You're pocket change in the pocket of a designer suit
You're a product of the scene
To be bought and sold
But money pays the bills
And your sales are low

I've seen your dreams (I've seen your dreams)
Trampled in the streets (Trampled in the streets)
And they're collecting in the gutters for the rats to eat
Another scripted team of the American dream

I stand alone
Because no one can save you when you've sunk this low
We're ditching the grammar
We all need to find our own
Why does it seem like no one can save their own soul
We're of the glitz and the glamorous

This is our call (This is our call)
This is our time (This is our time)
We have to shine

We're stronger now
Did you think that we could ever make it out
Don't you think that we could ever make it out
Don't you think that we could ever make it out

We're stronger now
Did you think that we could ever make it out
Did you think that we could make it out
Or we'd just sink back into the crowd

We're stronger now
Did you think that we could ever make it out
Did you think that we could make it out
Or we'd just sink back into the crowd

I stand alone
Because no one can save you when you've sunk this low
We're ditching the grammar
We all need to find our own
Why does it seem like no one can save their own soul
We're of the glitz and the glamorous

I stand alone
Because no one can save you when you've sunk this low
We're ditching the grammar
We all need to find our own
Why does it seem like no one can save their own soul
We're of the glitz and the glamorous


8.Lose Control

The past has a way of tricking you
When you look back, you don't seem to
Sometimes you just don't have a clue
Where this road has brought you to
You're just another card lost in the shuffle
I guess you've always been drawn to trouble but
We're all done pretending
Your life is one worth saving

You're in too deep, your cover's blown
(Now you're on your own)
So who'll be held responsible
When you lose control?
You're trying to keep yourself afloat
(You're sinking like a stone)
I won't be held responsible
When you lose control

Funny how it all creeps up on you
Lies redefine the ugly truth
'Cause now it's just your new abuse
No one can give it back to you
You're just another empty soul on a mission
I find yourself taking what you're giving
We're all done pretending
Your honor's worth defending (defending)

You're in too deep, your cover's blown
(Now you're on your own)
So who'll be held responsible
When you lose control?
You're trying to keep yourself afloat
(You're sinking like a stone)
I won't be held responsible
When you lose control

You're on your own
I'm letting go
I'm not strong enough to save you
There is no one left to breathe but you
You're on your own
I'm just a ghost
Wandering in the unknown
I'm not strong enough to save you
There is no one left to save you now

You're in too deep, your cover's blown
(Now you're on your own)
So who'll be held responsible
When you lose control?
You're trying to keep yourself afloat
(You're sinking like a stone)
I won't be held responsible
When you lose control...


9.Better To Leave

So let's set the scene
He walked out to a busy street
In the summer heat
Hazy from the night before
Not the type to spend one alone
Even though he knows
Come the morning, he'll be gone
Just moving on

She awoke in an empty bed
The sting of regret
Creeping into every bone
On the nightstand, a note that read:
'Girl, I won't be back,
you deserve better than that'
She would cry if she could lie to herself
'Cause she's used to the first time
Always bein' her last

Can you see it drippin' down from her lips
Dancin' on her fingertips?
Can you see the pain that she hides
Deep inside, in her eyes?
This is all just what it seems
Gimme just another dream
Could be that the end doesn't always
Just justify the means
Sometimes it's better to just leave
Sometimes it's better to just leave

So let's set this straight
Two weeks later, he's back again
City of sin
And she's acting out her role
She arrives a touch at the waist
To another pretty face
And she's takin' this one home
She will lie, and he will buy her lines
'Cause you were never the first
She tries that shit all the time

Can you see it drippin' down from her lips
Dancin' on her fingertips?
Can you see the pain that she hides
Deep inside, in her eyes?
This is all just what it seems
Gimme just another dream
Could be that the end doesn't always
Just justify the means
Sometimes it's better to just leave

She's so afraid of what she's become
She's beggin' just to feel something for anyone
Nothing can stand, but she's made up her
Mind is all, I can't hang on now
She is on her own
Get out while you still have some heart left
You can't say 'so long' with no hope

Can you see it drippin' down from her lips
Dancin' on her fingertips?
Can you see the pain that she hides
Deep inside, in her eyes?
This is all just what it seems
Gimme just another dream
Could be that the end doesn't always
Just justify the means
Sometimes it's better to just leave (x5)


10.Carried Away

Ironically enough,
I've never been too good with words
I know it's absurd
But I can never find a perfect way
To say the things I want to say

If you'd give me the chance
To let this kiss say
All the things locked behind my lips
I promise I could sweep you off your feet

Let's you and me get carried away now
(Carried away now)
No holding back, we're on our way now
(Carried away now)
Let's see where this night will take us
There's no reason left for us to stick around
I never want to come back down
Tonight's our last night on the ground

The funny thing about a kiss
Is that it's never enough
You can call on my bluff
But I am trembling from the taste of you
And I know that you must feel it to

If you'd give me the chance
To let this kiss say
All the things locked behind my lips
I promise I could take your breath away

Let's you and me get carried away now
(Carried away now)
No holding back, we're on our way now
(Carried away now)
Let's see where this night will take us
There's no reason left for us to stick around
I never want to come back down
Tonight's our last night on the ground

Let's you and me get carried away now
(Carried away now)
No holding back, we're on our way now
(Carried away now)
Let's see where this night will take us
There's no reason left for us to stick around
I never want to come back down
Tonight's our last night on the ground


11.Jukebox Memoirs

A song came on the jukebox
In the bar where we first met
And if only for a moment
I remembered what it meant
To wake up tangled in between the sheets
With thighs all tied between my knees
And never wanting to move from that bed

The words they rang too true to me
And I was just too scared to say:

You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Call all of your plans off,
There's nothing stopping us, so make it out
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Close your eyes (just take me away)
And say goodbye (We're leaving tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place)

My head weighed down from memories
Laid itself upon the bar
As I stare straight at my future
Seems the past was never far
The dreams came rushing back in melody
The songs and words felt safe to me
Now all that's left are records on the shelf

The words they rang too true to me
And I was just too scared to say:

You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Call all of your plans off,
There's nothing stopping us, so make it out
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Close your eyes (just take me away)
And say goodbye (We're leaving tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place)

I was ready
To pack my bags and run away
If you would have let me
(If you would have let me)
I would have saved that day
I know I'm to blame
For all these mistakes
If I could just hear you say:

You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Call all of your plans off,
There's nothing stopping us, so make it out
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Close your eyes (just take me away)
And say goodbye (We'll leave tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place tonight)


12.Burning Up (Acoustic)

Could you tell me if you ever really loved and lost and
tell was it worth it cause when you, you said goodbye

And if your love was just a game then
who's the one to take the blame when
you, you can't sleep at night

Cause deep inside I'm burning up from you
You let me down so many times, it's true
You play with fire and you're gonna lose
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you.

You walk the streets at night alone
then she calls you on the telephone
because she, she can't sleep at night

And now the night comes to an end,
as she grabs me by the hand.
She wants to know, do I want come home tonight
her bed is cold, she don't like to be alone

Cause deep inside I'm burning up from you
You let me down so many times, it's true
You play with fire and you're gonna lose
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Just take me somewhere far away from here
Tell that room where I won't show my fears
I don't want you to know the truth
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Cause deep inside I'm burning up from you
You let me down so many times, it's true
You play with fire and you're gonna lose
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Just take me somewhere far away from here
Tell that room where I won't show my fears
I don't want you to know the truth
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Burning up from the thought of you
Burning up from the thought of you
You play with fire and you're gonna lose
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you

Burning up from the thought of you
Burning up from the thought of you
Don't want you to know the truth
I'm burning up, burning up from the thought of you
