Speaker A
And throughout the pretty house and pretty words that turned me off, I just end up at your house, 20,000 leagues beneath the ocean.
Speaker A
Oh, I've been trying to keep my distance.
Speaker A
So hard to keep my distance.
Speaker A
And you make me want to stay 'cause it looks so good, but I know you, baby, and this can't wait, not one more touch, one more drink, one more minute, one more night.
Speaker A
So I surrender, this is the moment I surrender.
Speaker A
Now all the shapes I know are gone, charts and maps I've drawn just get me lost.
Speaker A
And I'm falling off the edge.
Speaker A
And you make me want to change with the look on your face 'cause I miss you, babe, but I can't stay, not one more kiss, not one more fix, not one more minute, one more night.
Speaker A
So I surrender, this is the moment I surrender.
Speaker A
I still try to keep my distance.
Speaker A
And my distance, when I speak, will you listen?
Speaker A
So send me back a thousand days, that first night at your place, and tell me how it ends, I'd do it all again, but one more minute, one more night.
Speaker A
If all that I could ever be, if all that I could ever be was the best ex-lover of your life.
Speaker A
So I surrender, this is the moment I surrender.
Speaker A
Even now I'm letting go, I surrender.
Speaker A
So I surrender, this is the moment I surrender.
Speaker A
Even now I'm letting go, I surrender.
Speaker A
If all that I could ever be, if all that I could ever be was the best ex-lover of your life.
Speaker A
I still try to keep my distance.
