I got close to your skin
While you were sleeping
I taste the salt
On your hands
I reached out to touch you
The morning light disarms you
Won't you let me in?

Ooh
How long 'til your surrender?
Ooh
How long 'til your surrender?
It's a long way
For heart break
Let your heart wait and bleed
Ooh
How long 'til your surrender to me?

I've become your shadow
I'd love, but don't know how to
I'm always lost for words
You look like a thousand suns
I wanna be the only one
Left when your day is done

Ooh
How long 'til your surrender?
Ooh
How long 'til your surrender?
It's a long way
For heart break
Let your heart wait and bleed
Ooh
How long 'til your surrender to me?

I can't have you close
So I become a ghost
And I watch you
I watch you
Maybe if you stay
We could die this way
I won't stop you
I won't stop you

Ooh
How long 'til your surrender?
Ooh
How long 'til your surrender?
Ooh
How long 'til your surrender?
Ooh
How long 'til your surrender?
It's a long way
For heart break
Let your heart wait and bleed
Ooh
How long 'til your surrender to me?
Yeah
To me
It's a long way
For heart break
Let your heart wait and bleed
Ooh
How long 'til your surrender to me?
