Body Language And Bad Habits
Just Surrender Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Her body was ransom
Her kisses were dancin'
On my lips and in my mind
The money has run out
The music is played out
And now it seems were running out of time
I'm feeling her rhythm
This is your decision
Take your time and make this count
Or awaken with regret
A lifetime of secrets
But would you kiss your mother with that mouth?
This can't be happening oh
It can't be
Can't be

So give up
Our bodies started kissing in a language we didn't know
Give in
I'm running through your veins like a habit you can't kick
Here's a secret confession from a life long obsession
As I'm staring out your window pane

Our bodies started kissing in a language I don't know

I hit the lights in the bedroom
To soften up the mood
As your dress laces the floor
You're lying there indiscreetly
I can tell by the feeling
Draw the blinds and lock the doors
You start to stare at the ceiling
As you keep repeating
Take your time and make this count
There's unfinished business
No sign of a witness
But would you kiss your mother with that mouth?
This can't be happening oh
It can't be
Can't be

So give up
Our bodies started kissing in a language we didn't know
Give in
I'm running through your veins like a habit you can't kick
Here's a secret confession from a life long obsession
As I'm staring out your window pane

So give up
Our bodies started kissing in a language we didn't know

The wolves come out
When the lights go out
We're done playing sheep
Our hearts race
And our dreams lost in sheets
I taste your skin
Look at the mess we got ourselves into now
This can't be happening oh
It can't be
Can't be

So give up
Our bodies started kissing in a language we didn't know
Give in
I'm running through your veins like a habit you can't kick

So give up
Our bodies started kissing in a language we didn't know
Give in
I'm running through your veins like a habit you can't kick
Here's a secret confession from a life long obsession
As I'm staring out your window pane

So give up
Our bodies started kissing in a language we didn't know
Give in




Our bodies started kissing in a language we didn't know
(Give up!)

Line by Line Meaning

Her body was ransom
Her physical presence was captivating and irresistible


Her kisses were dancin'
Her expressions of affection were poetic and entrancing


On my lips and in my mind
Her influence lingered even after our physical interactions ended


The money has run out
Our resources are depleted


The music is played out
Our relationship has lost the excitement and novelty it once had


And now it seems we're running out of time
Our relationship is deteriorating and may soon end completely


I'm feeling her rhythm
I am in sync with her desires and emotions


This is your decision
The outcome of our relationship depends on your choices


Take your time and make this count
Make intentional decisions and consider the consequences


Or awaken with regret
You may regret your choices in the morning


A lifetime of secrets
There are things about ourselves that we keep hidden from the world


But would you kiss your mother with that mouth?
You should be mindful of the words you use and the image you project


So give up
Stop resisting the desire we share


Our bodies started kissing in a language we didn't know
We connected in a physical and emotional way that was unfamiliar to us


Give in
Submit to the passion we feel


I'm running through your veins like a habit you can't kick
I am an addiction you can't shake


Here's a secret confession from a life long obsession
I have felt this way about you for a very long time


As I'm staring out your window pane
As I reflect on our situation


I hit the lights in the bedroom
I set the mood in preparation for intimacy


To soften up the mood
To create a romantic and sensual atmosphere


As your dress laces the floor
As you undress and reveal your body to me


You're lying there indiscreetly
You are exposing yourself in a vulnerable and intimate way


I can tell by the feeling
I sense the passion and excitement between us


Draw the blinds and lock the doors
Create an environment of privacy and exclusivity


You start to stare at the ceiling
You seem lost in your own thoughts and feelings


There's unfinished business
There are unresolved issues and conflicts between us


No sign of a witness
There is nobody else around to witness our actions


The wolves come out
Our primal desires and instincts are taking over


When the lights go out
When there is no longer anyone watching us


We're done playing sheep
We are no longer conforming to societal norms and expectations


Our hearts race
We feel intense and passionate emotions


And our dreams lost in sheets
Our hopes and aspirations are temporarily abandoned for the sake of physical gratification


I taste your skin
I savor every moment of our physical connection


Look at the mess we got ourselves into now
We have found ourselves in a complicated and potentially problematic situation
