Jukebox Memoirs
Just Surrender Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The 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
Your thighs so tight between my knees
And never wanting to move from that bed
The words that rang too true to me
But 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)
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us now
We'll 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)

My head weighed down from memories
Laid itself upon the bar
As I stared straight at my future
Seems the past was never far
The dreams came rushing back in melody
The songs that once felt safe to me
Now all that's left are records on the shelf
The words that rang too true to me
But 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)
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us now
We'll 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)

I was ready
To pack my bags and just run away
If you would have let me
I would have stayed 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)
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us now
We'll 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)

You could be my way out
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
We could just leave this place tonight
You could be my way out




We could just leave this place tonight
We could just leave this place
