Surrender from Boxing by Ben Chavasse

I had to get my thoughts to surrender
I had to reason it out
But just when I thought I’d put them all together
The whole parade began to scream and shout
I couldn’t be like that
If you wanted me to
I couldn’t be like that

I was silent, and it landed me
In the grips of something, I couldn’t break
There I was, acting up
I felt as if my conscience was at stake
It’s not a new phenomenon
Many like them have been and gone

Give it over here now
Give it over here now
It doesn’t seem it’s enough
It doesn’t seem like it’s enough

But above all else, it was that age
You followed the lines set in place
While they all exploded with delight
I stood there feeling just disgraced
Kind of shocking to think of it
And to see where I sit

But find a way to fit me
Find a way to fit me
Into your life somehow
Into your life somehow

Why do you appeal to everyone?
Is it to fit into our lives in some way?
I tried to identify in each of them
But there really can be nothing else to say
So hard to seek it out
No way to seek it out

But find a way to fit me
Find a way to fit me
Into your life somehow
Into your life somehow
Find a way to fit me
Find a way to fit me
Into your life somehow
Into your life somehow
