[Verse 1] Early morning rain Crashing upon my rooftop and my brain Woke up in my clothes Feeling like I'm insane The hours pa** like days Like days [Chorus] And now you're on the firing squad I throw my hands up, I surrender I don't want to be a fraud I don't want to be the pretender And I was like a lightning rod I was always your defender We were both right and wrong I throw my hands up, I surrender [Verse 2] I see your eyes, hear your voice Outside my window Calling for me in a time of trouble And you know I'd be there Yes you know I'd be there [Chorus] And now you're on the firing squad
I throw my hands up, I surrender I don't want to be a fraud I don't want to be the pretender And I was like a lightning rod I was always your defender We were both right and wrong I throw my hands up, I surrender [Verse 3] And I stand And I watch At the streetcars rolling As the wind is blowing And there's no way of knowing now [Chorus] And now you're on the firing squad I throw my hands up, I surrender I don't want to be a fraud I don't want to be the pretender And I was like a lightning rod I was always your defender We were both right and wrong I throw my hands up, I surrender
