about

"Surefire" is a melancholy reflection on what could’ve been. It explores the tense dynamic between two people who could be good for each other if the situation and timing were different.

lyrics

It’s not in my veins
To be playing games,
But I could write a book—
Call it made-you-look
Leave it up to me:
Can I let it be
Like I know I should?

You remind me that I'm not in control
I'm out of control, man
You know I think that I’m better alone,
But you’re keeping me open

And what I see in you is something they don’t
You already know that
I don’t mean to impose;
It’s only emotion

CHORUS:
I’d bet my pride
That you are where my heart would rest
At home in another life,
But in the meantime
I’ve left behind
Something that I can’t forget
It's surefire as a turning tide
Your fire is still burning bright

You don’t like to chase—
You think it's a waste,
But I really need
Men to take the lead
Way you made me care
Had me really scared;
It upset me

‘Cause you remind me that you’re running the show
You’re running my show, man
Is the timing why I’m sleeping alone
And losing my focus?

And what I love in you is something they don’t
Even notice
I just want you to know
It’s more than emotion

CHORUS

Where would I begin
If you let me in?
Color like a rouge
At the thought of you
We could hit the road
If you wanna go
Do you want to?
