Element of Surprise Songtext
von Luwten

thought i ran a tight ship here
both hands on the steering wheel
turning points and taking root
talk in peace and telling truth
but at liberty and on the loose
ties don′t really match my suit
this town, oh how it ties me down
it's overcast all year around
not aloud to make a sound


i don′t pretend that i forget
the things i said
are played backwards in my head
and i don't understand them
and i won't understand why
i don′t want things to end and
keep waiting for the element of surprise
i decide to go outside
say goodbye to wrong and right
my dearest so called strong believe
i′m not there until i leave
oh the throwback is what hits me hard
amidst the crowd i take heart
from people with their headphones on
telling me silently to move on

don't look for what will come across...
don′t look for what will come across...

i don't pretend that i forget
the things i said
are played backwards in my head
and i don′t understand them
and i won't understand why
i don′t want things to end and
keep waiting for the element of surprise
i don't pretend that i forget
the things i said
are played backwards in my head
and i don't understand them
and i don′t understand why
i don′t want things to end and
keep waiting for the element of surprise
