Maggie Rogers - Surrender Album Lyrics

Overdrive

Hey
Ooh-ooh

My love, would you walk
For hours, just to talk?
You did it better when you were on my side
Covered in leather, now you are in overdrive, hey

Mmm

Oh, young were we
But I'm sick of sayin', "You made me weak at the knees"
'Cause I was a runner and I could go for miles
Give me a reason

Now I'm in overdrive (put me in overdrive)
Overdrive, ooh (put me in overdrive)
Oh-oh-oh (put me in overdrive)
Over and over

I don't wanna do this again if you're gon' break my heart
I'm tearin' at the seams
Can't believe that it's gotta be this hard
You told me that I was all you could see
But you kept me in the dark

Put me in overdrive (put me in overdrive)
Oh-oh, oh-oh (put me in overdrive)
Ooh-ooh-ooh

That's Where I Am

I found a reason to wake up
Coffee in my cup, start a new day
Wish we could do this forever
And never remember mistakes that we made

I told you I loved you when we were just friends
You kept me waiting and I hated you then
Gave it a few a years, you settled your debts
But I never got over the secrets I kept

It all works out in the end
Wherever you go, that's where I am
Boulders turn into sand
Wherever you go, that's where I am

Now when I wait in your doorway
Covered in flowers, I think of her
The woman that you once dated
I couldn't relate to her glitter and furs

Who were you then and who is she now?
Did she know that we were together somehow?
You never touched me, but I felt you everywhere

It all works out in the end
Wherever you go, that's where I am
Even boulders turn into sand
Wherever you go, that's where I am

That's where I am
That's where I am

No, I'll never find another, no one else can do it better
When we're together it feels like heaven
You're the only one I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you
No, I'll never find another, no one else can do it better
When we're together it feels like heaven
You're the only one I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

It all works out in the end
Wherever you go, that's where I am
Even boulders turn into sand
Wherever you go, that's where I am

That's where I am
(You're the only one I ever wanted)
(All I ever really wanted was you)
That's where I am
(You're the only one I ever wanted)
(All I ever really wanted was you)
That's where I am (wanted was you)
(You're the only one I ever wanted)
(All I ever really wanted was you)
That's where I am
(You're the only one I ever wanted)
(All I ever really wanted was you)
That's where I am

Ooh

Want Want

If you want-want what you want-want, then you want it

You're better than the man I knew
When we were in a band and you
Wouldn't flinch and wouldn't make a move
Try to forget the rest
As I watch you get undressed
Pray to God this won't be a mess

And I keep runnin' away
But when I leave, you pull me in again
Oh, here we go
I'll hold my breath and count the times
I walked my feet up to the line
Oh, we both know

If you want-want what you want-want, then you want it
Can't hide what you desire once you're on it
Can't fake what you can't break up with, ooh
If you understand that a few years won't erase it
Might die if you can't live just to taste it
Want-want what you want-want, then you want it

And I want you
Oh, ooh

Oh, can we take this slow?
Everybody's always known
But I didn't want to admit
That when we're cheek to cheek
I feel it in my teeth
And it's too good to resist

And I keep runnin' away
But when I leave, you pull me in again
Oh, we both know

If you want-want what you want-want, then you want it
Can't hide what you desire once you're on it
Can't fake what you can't break up with, ooh
If you understand that a few years won't erase it
Might die if you can't live just to taste it
Want-want what you want-want, then you want it (if you want)
If you want-want what you want-want, then you want it
Can't hide what you desire once you're on it
Can't fake what you can't break up with, ooh
If you understand that a few years won't erase it
Might die if you can't live just to taste it (if you want)
Want-want what you want-want, then you want it

Oh, and if you got a moment, I want on it
Want-want on it, on it
And if you got another hour, I want all of it
(If you want)
Don't wanna wait another moment, I want on it
Want-want on it, on it
Don't wanna wait another hour, I want all of it
Want-want, want

Anywhere With You

Walked in straight away and slammed the door last night
I caught you on the couch, you were havin' a fright all alone
With the TV on
Clothes strewn on the floor, I got down on my knees
You told me everything that you wanted to be all along
Was it wrong?

And I said, "Listen, oh, I know it's been a long, long year
But I think we should go and get you out of here"
I'll go anywhere, anywhere with you
Pack up all your shit and put it in the back
Maybe the miles can make up for the things you lack
I'll go anywhere, anywhere with you

Cruisin' 95 like we got nothin' to lose
I'm praying to the headlights like I prayed to you
Before I found you
Roll the windows down, kill the radio
I'd rather hear the wind than hear that song I'm supposed to know
By some f*cking bro

You tell me that forever couldn't come too soon
I wanna lose my mind in a hotel room with you
Anywhere would do
I'm sittin' in the back like it's pouring rain
You call me from the heart just to say my, say my name
I'll go anywhere with you
I'll go anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
I'll go anywhere with you

Would you tell me if I ever started holdin' you back?
Would you talk me off the guard rail of my panic attack?
Look me straight in my center and tell me from the heart
Are you ready to start? Are you ready to start?
Are you ready to start? Are you ready to start?
Are you ready to start?

You tell me that forever couldn't come too soon
If I'm gonna lose my mind, I'm gonna lose it with you
You tell me you want everything, you want it fast
But all I've ever wanted is to make somethin' f*ckin' last
I'll go anywhere, I'll go anywhere
I'll go anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you

Horses

Watch you go
Cross the street like a dream out my window
Sucking nicotine down my throat
Thinking of you giving head
You said
You wondered 'bout the world
Well, I have since I was a little girl
Watching white birds graze the hedge

Took me all this long to figure out
It's not worth it if I can't touch the ground
Can't believe I let it turn me 'round
Turn me onto you

I see horses running wild, I wish
I could feel like that for just a minute
Would you come with me, or would you resist?
Oh, could you just give in?
I see horses and I know there's a way
I hear thunder, oh, and I start to break
Would you come with me or would you resist?
Oh, could you just give in?

I believe in you
But the truth about dreams
Is they're a feeling that meets you in between
What you want and what you really need

Took me all this long to figure out
It's not worth it if I can't touch the ground
Can't believe I let you turn me 'round
Waiting up for you

I see horses running wild, I wish
I could feel like that for just a minute
Would you come with me, or would you resist?
Oh, could you just give in?
I see horses and I know there's a way
I hear thunder, oh, and I start to break
Would you come with me, or would you resist?
Oh, could you just give in?

I can't wait up for you today
Oh
I'm leavin', are you coming with me?
Can't hold me back, can't hold me back
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going away

Oh, I see horses running wild, I wish
I could feel like that for just a minute
Would you come with me, or would you resist?
Oh, could you just give in?
I see horses and I know there's a way
I hear thunder, oh, and I start to break
Would you come with me, or would you resist?
Oh, could you just give in?
Oh, could you just give in?
Give in, give in, give in, give in, oh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Be Cool

Sick of the sound of self importance
I f*cked off for a month or two
Needed a summer just to be a teenager
Drunk on the month of June

And you saved me
When you said

Be cool
Keep your friends around
If you
Try to slow it down
I promise I will be there
To cover you with love
Just be cool

Caught myself thinking we could live forever
But maybe for just one night
We could listen to Britney
Overload the speakers
Just keep telling me it'll turn out alright

Be cool
Keep your friends around
If you
Try to slow it down
And know that race car running round your heart
Will always be a part of you
So be cool

Ooh, oh, oh, ooh
When you feel you start to fake it
Like it's blurring round the lines
When your vision starts to shake
You turn to me
You said

Oh, be cool
Keep your friends around
If you
Try to slow it down
I promise you, I'll be there
To cover you with love
Just be, be, be, be
Be cool
Cool
Cool

I promise you, I'll be there
To cover you with love
Just be cool
Cool

Shatter

Coming up for oxygen
The world's the same
But something's changing
You see it on the street again
Lighting up
The strangest faces

And it feels like that
Sweeter than the best you've ever had
And oh, it takes me back
To being sixteen, dancing like you're under attack

I don't really care if it nearly kills me
I'd give you the world if you asked me to
I could break a glass just to watch it shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with you

Right
You alright
Alright

I see it in your teeth again
There's a tightness when you're smiling
It creeps in through the backdoor when
You play pretend and break down crying

And it feels like that
'Cause you're wishing you had something you never had
But now we're going back
To being sixteen, flying like you'll never collapse

I don't really care if it nearly kills me
I'd give you the world if you asked me to
I could break a glass just to watch it shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with you

I don't really care if it nearly kills me
Feel it in my fists like it's time to move
Quick, give me a glass, I'mma watch it shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with you

You right
You alright
You

I know there's people everywhere with injustice on their lips
And there's this open wound bleeding between my hips
And I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared

And I've got all this anger trapped so deep inside
That started burning the summer my heroes died
And I just wish that I could hear a new Bowie again
Again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again, again

I don't really care if it nearly kills me
I'd give you the world if you asked me to
I could break a glass just to watch it shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with you

I don't really care if it nearly kills me
I'd give you the world if you want me to
I can feel it in my fists, it's time to shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with
With you

I'd do anything just to feel
With you

I'd do anything just to feel
With you

Begging For Rain

The more you wait, the more you break
The longer that it takes to undo
All the knots that you've been tying
On cherry stems and black barbed wire too

You work all day to find religion
And end up standing in your kitchen
Wondering 'bout the way it's always been

I'm a firefighter and I can't stop it
They fan the flames higher than rockets
And leave you standing on an open plane

Begging for rain, oh
Begging for rain

I feel it all and I can't stop it
Wish that I could turn my faucet loose
And all my friends who keep on calling
Like nothing's wrong and asking me what's new

And I try my best to not be bitter
Give my rage a babysitter
Stop waiting for the adults to come home
It's a firework and you can't stop it
I'm cutting holes in all the pockets
Of everyone that's calling me insane
Waiting for rain, oh

Begging for rain

I keep waiting
I keep waiting
I keep waiting

I've Got A Friend

Okay, it's starting, shh
Oh, shh
No, you shh
No, you shh

Who would've said
When I met you at a party everyone was drunk on forties
Just south of Stuyvesant
That I would get to know your sisters
Bring 'em with us every time that we were in Austin

If only she knew what it's like to see the world
With someone who is excited by everything
Fashion sense of a king living in the 15th century

Oh, I've got a friend who's been there through it all
Masturbates to Rob Pattinson staring at the wall
I've got a friend who's tangled up inside
Tried to hold her hand the day her mother died
I've got a friend who's been there through it all
Talked me out of jail, talked me off the panic rail
I got a friend, I got a friend
And she's got a friend too

Any other day
We'd be hanging out together, no matter the weather
She'd make us listen to Dolly or else
When I'm far away
Like I seem to be a lot
I miss the days we'd spend smoking pot

If only she knew
What it's like to see the world
Through someone who isn't afraid of anything
Laughs about everything
I'd like to see the one who thinks they can change her mind

I've got a friend
Who's been there through it all
When I lose my shit, she's the first person I call
I got a friend who handed me a shot
And taught me to dance when the love inside was not
I got a friend who's smarter than anything
Wears all her mothers rings
Stands for the right things
I got a friend, I got a friend, I got a friend
And she's got a friend too

I got a friend
Ooh, I've got a friend
And she's got a friend too

I got a friend
She'll be there in the end
When we're old and we're dead, ooh

And she's got a friend too

I've a got a friend, her name is Claire
Her name is, she's got a friend, some cute underwear
Alright, let me do one more, I'm starting to loosen up
Yeah, there you go, it's nice, isn't it? You got it
You know that's a vibe with that one
He's so good at piano

Honey

Oh, I believe
In the way I loved you then
And the way you held my hand
It wasn't circumstance
Or anomaly
But power's about when
You place your bets and now you
Choose your friends

Oh, and I believe
I could have been your girl
For about a hundred years
Oh, in another world
But I had to leave
And now when you hear my name
Oh, does it break your shit
Or do you run away?

I started out trying to do what's right
Lost it all in the middle of the night
If you're wondering what you should do with your life
Honey, if I knew, I would tell you, wouldn't I?

Oh, I believe
We've all been here before
That time's a memory
And it's an open door
But tell me what happens
When you're on the other side
Is there a party somewhere
Or is it a f*cking riot

I started out trying to do what's right
Lost it all in the middle of the night
If you're wondering what you should do with your life
Honey, if I knew, I would tell you, wouldn't I?

(Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey)
(Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey)
If there's an answer, oh, tell me
(Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey)
Is there an answer? Oh, honey

I started out trying to do what's right
Lost it all in the middle of the night
If you're wondering what you should do with your life
Honey, if I knew, I would tell you, wouldn't I?

I started out trying to do what's right
Lost it all in the middle of the night
If you're wondering what you should do with your life
Honey, if I knew, I would tell you, wouldn't I?

Symphony

Hold on, baby
Don't break maybe
We could spend the night or an hour
Watching your favorite show
Take my hand now
Don't speak so loud
Try your best to forget the world outside your window

And be here with me
There's no where else I'd rather be
And there's a symphony
Going on inside my head
I know it's time to rest
Can you live like nothing's left
Forget your emptiness
Take a breath
Take a breath, take a breath

I'll tell your friends
Come over when
They can find the time to walk the mile down the road
And we can start a band that only plays living room shows

And you'll be there with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
There's a symphony
Going on inside my head
I know there's emptiness
Making its way through your chest
But can you bury it
Take a breath

I know there's times where I can be a lot to handle and
I'm working with a therapist to take care of it
Keep coming back to me when I keep pushing you away
It's not something I mean to do, it just comes off that way
Don't want to think about a world where there's not your face
Can't erase, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
For you, for you, for you

So just be here with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
And there's a symphony
Every time you look my way
I know we're under slept
And life's a promise that never ends
But you can handle it
Take a breath
Take a breath

Different Kind of World

One last song, I'll sing a song
And make it a song for peace
Though we all may carry on
May we do so decently

My hands are shaking, palms are sweating
Thinking 'bout the state of the world

When we're riding all together
I'm a different kind of girl

One last song, I'll write a song
And know that it's for you
That new friend I haven't met
With a different point of view

My knees are aching, back is breaking
Thinking 'bout the state of the world
When we're riding all together
It's a different kind of world

When we're riding all together
I'm a different kind of girl

When we're riding all together
I'm a different kind of girl
