White Flag Lyrics

When you took me from my home
How I struggled to be free
Now out here on our own
I’ve found in you most everything I need

We sing our prison songs
You feed me to keep me strong
You’re my captor, you’re my best friend
Set me loose and I won’t run again

I surrender, surrender to be free
In your chains is where I’m gonna be
I surrender
& this love goes on forever

Wait, is this some kind of joke?
One hundred times you’ve tried escape
I wake alone in a cloud of smoke
and have to track you down
across the wild plain

We sing our prison songs
You whip me, right me when I’m wrong
You’re my captor, you’re my best friend
If I cut you loose I know you’ll run again

I’ve got no fingers left to cross
Each time I leave you cut one off
We left my family, burned my town
I’ve got no place left to be
so for you I’ll wear your crown

We sing our prison songs
We’re making love all night long
You’re my captor, you’re my best friend
Say you’ll stay and never run again
