The Antlers - Surrender lyrics

Well I hope that you can't hear what I am thinking You know I can't always talk but I'm always listening In an absence where you hate to feel uncared for Pretending there's nothing that you're not prepared for Who are you lapping when you're running from surrender? If life is a fatal race for all contenders To find the peace within the combat where we're standing We have to make our history less commanding Well, our mercy is a boundary we'll surrender When love is a safer place we both remember Like an old estate that stands in no location At the edge of an age of endless renovation And while all that noise competes for our attention We'll meet on a quiet field in our own dimension We'll step inside a world far less demanding When we allow for something less commanding
