Remember (Surrender) – Second Language

Remember (Surrender)

Golden moments turn to dust, slowly settle down to rust
They all see the second hand shift to the right
The blues and the reds fade to grey
The world is eclipsed as the stars in the night
Seem old and in the way

You see it in their eyes...remember
You see it in their eyes...surrender

Neutral colors, failing sight, a dull-edged picture in black & white
Look over their shoulders in search of a past
That's already left them behind
Through rose-colored glasses, no shadows are cast
They've long ago made up their minds

You see it in their eyes...remember
You see it in their eyes...surrender

When the simplest things seem like miracles
When push comes to shove
They shut the drawers and lock their doors
And turn their backs on love

Where angels dance on the heads of pins
Where caution ends, the road begins
Now I know the consequence, show me the truth
I'll open my heart, I will trust
I'll kick down the walls that get in the way
I'll love you 'cause I know I must

I see it in your eyes....remember
I see it in your eyes....surrender

You see it in their eyes...remember
You see it in their eyes...surrender
