Surprise
S-B-J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I wasn't expecting this album
To be so emotional
But here we are
I can't even look you
In your eyes
But that should really
Come as no surprise nowww
Right between those lines
So don't even try to hide
Behind all these lies nowww
I need some closure right noww
So don't try to run away
And hide ouuut
I've got questions
That I need some answers to
And I think that
It's about time we find ouuut
How the fuck we got this way
And why the fuck
This relationship feels so strained
Who's to blame you or me
Maybe that street goes both ways
But who's to say
Who's justified up in they place
Maybe I just need a little space
Maybe I should run the other way
With some haste
Hoping you'll give chase
Just like you do
And save some face
Give you a little taste
Of what you do to me
But what would that solve
Probably nothing at all
Or maybe as much
As the bottom of a bottle
Helps the stones go down
That we always try to swallow
After a night like this
Yeah it's hard not to feel hollow
Have a good life
Cause I probably
Wont talk to you tomorrow
Or the day after that
I guess never again
Isn't that what you said
That you wanted to quit
Let me tell you something
It don't work like that
Around here kid
I can't even look you
In your eyes
But that should really
Come as no surprise nowww
Cause I can see
Right between those lines
So don't even try to hide
Behind all these lies nowww
I need some closure right noww
So don't try to run away
And hide ouuut
I've got questions
That I need some answers to
And I think that
It's about time we find ouuut
Why you snap like that
And why it is
That you tend to get so mad
Why we left all of our baggage
Packed up in the past
Why you been so sad
Please tell me
Cause I can't seem to add
Yeah I guess I'm just bad at math
I just hope that this ain't a trap
Cause the fact
Is simply that
I just really want you back
Have a close relationship
Just like the one we never had
Is that too much to ask
Or should I just demand
Raise my voice to you
To make me feel like I'm a man
Let my tone slap you in the face
The same way it would
If I raised my arm back
And smacked you with my hand
Ask forgiveness not permission
Don't listen then be dismissive
Yeah
As if that's a grander plan
I can't meet you where your at
And add to this fire with a fan
I had to stand back
And smother it with love
To help you understand that
I can't even look you
In your eyes
But that should really
Come as no surprise nowww
Cause I can see
Right between those lines
So don't even try to hide
Behind all these lies nowww
I need some closure right noww
So don't try to run away
And hide ouuut
I've got questions
That I need some answers to
And I think that
It's about time we find ouuut
And I think that
It's about time we find ouuut
And I think that
It's about time we find ouuut
I can't even look you
In your eyes
But that should really
Come as no surprise nowww
Cause I can see
Right between those lines
So don't even try to hide
Behind all these lies nowww
I need some closure right noww
So don't try to run away
And hide ouuut
I've got questions
That I need some answers to
And I think that
It's about time we find ouuut
