White Flag Waving

1.24.2019

 

I’ve tried everything I could

To wash my hands of you for good

But nothing’s worked

This big ol’world’s

Too small a world

And now I finally realize

That nothing ever would

How nothing ever would

 

So I surrender

White flag waving

Prisoner of your love

For me

There’ll be no saving

 

Oh I surrender

White flag waving

It’s an addiction I have

And it’s your love

Leaves me craving

 

Even though I know

At least I firmly believe

You’re stark raving mad

And for your sanity I grieve

But you’re still the best I’ve ever had

You’re still the best I’ve ever had

 

You’ve chased me around the world

This big ol’world’s

Too small a world

Tried to wash my hands of you for good

But no

I never could

And now I realize

My will is broken

And it’s broken now for good

 

So I surrender

White flag waving

I’m a prisoner of your love

And there will be no saving

Yeah, I surrender

White flag waving

It’s an addiction I have

For your love

And in its quicksand

I am caving in

 

And though anyone can easily see

How you’re stark raving mad

And though they’ll never see

Evidence of the existence of sanity

You’re still the best I’ve ever had

You’re still the best I’ve ever had

 

So there’ll be no saving

White flag waving

And to my love’s ranting and raving

I surrender

White flag waving now

White flag waving
