letra de surprise! - dawes

Loading...

once the gatekeepers decided we would fade into the crowd
you took what makes you charming and you turned it up too loud
now how many songs does the band have to get through before you steal away the mic
how many cakes do you have to jump out of before no one yells “surprise!”

i remember us both learning that no one’s dreams come true
they’re either not quite how you saw them or the goalpost just gets moved
that’s when you changed your expectations and started rolling your third eye
but you still don’t know the ending, you can’t spoil the surprise

and now the nature of your birthday parties changed a lot for me
what was once a celebration feels like a shameless victory
i guess we all confuse our happiness with what it takes to just survive
but the moment that the switch gets flipped is always a surprise

there’s a little bit of poetry in what you’re doing to your face
removing all the evidence of our shared time and sp-ce
but your eyes close when you smile now because you’re squeezing it too tight
if this is how you double down you’re in for a surprise

there’s a nightclub deep in hollywood for each night of the week
watching all my fake friends congregate where no one wants to be
but you have to muddle through it if you wanna make it out alive
and the ones that find the other side are in for a surprise

no i’m not letting myself off easy here, i’ve been going through it too
i might’ve leaned into things more gracefully, but what good did that do?
you found your way to rage against the dying of the light
i thought i planned for all contingencies
i thought i knew who i was meant to be
all those roads laid out in front of me
but it’s still a big surprise
