Must be tiring to meet my resistance
My stubborn will can be so twisted
Pride can steal the best from me
But it's not what I want
But You're what I need
So I surrender
I want You
To take over me
I want You
To take over me
I don't wanna be part of the resistance
I wanna be part of the release
So I want You to take over me
Oh, I can't survive a state of existence
Struggling to find what's missin'
I wanna win the war between these skin and bones
And what's underneath
So I surrender
Yeah, I surrender
I want You
To take over me
I want You
To take over me
I don't wanna be part of the resistance
I wanna be part of the release
So I want You to take over me, yeah
Never want to, never wanna be against You
Never meant to, never meant to resist You
I never want to, never want to be against You, against You
Oh, how could I resist You?!
So I want You
To take over me
I want You
To take over me
I don't wanna be part of the resistance
I wanna be part of the release
So I want You to take over me, yeah
