No Surprise
Discount Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should've learned my lesson real fast.
It's no surprise I lost again.
You turn and look my way,
Maybe there's a chance some other day.
I'll just have to wait until then.
I'll just sit and remember the last time we met.
I'm not sure if you care,
Most times I'm not aware.
Sometimes life's just not fair.
So many times before,
I'm convinced I know there'll be a lot more.
Maybe you'll come around again.
You turn and look my way,
Maybe there's a chance some other day.
I'll just have to wait until then.
