As I drive through this wasteland
I think of the mess in my life
All the broken promises
Like miles they pass by
Between Tucson and Phoenix
While stars filled an empty sky
I decided to forget myself
And not even try
Sweet surrender
That’s what I’m longing for
Sweet surrender
To make up the distance between us
When we’re miles apart
How I have missed your whispers
Your heavenly lullabies
The further away I drift from you
Another part of me dies
Oh to be that close to you
To feel you breathe to hear you speak
Your words shake inside of me
And I don’t know what I would do
If you were to ever leave
Where would I be
Where would I be
Sweet surrender
That’s what I’m longing for
Sweet surrender
That’s what I’m longing for
Sweet surrender
That’s what I’m longing for
Sweet surrender
To make up the distance between us
When we’re miles apart
