Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a battle
You only brought your shield
I picked the nearest blade I found
To meet you in the field
[PreChorus]
I'm sure that I told my fair share of lies
If not, I bent the truth
But good fortune never was shining on me
The way it shone on you
[Chorus]
Shock me
I've needed a surprise
Shock me
I've needed a surprise
[Verse 2]
In a dream
A great calamity
To stone my heart and firm resolve
And render nerves to steel
[PreChorus]
The polestar wheeled about my head
Until such time it grew
A deep well of despair I found
The day my dreams came true
[Chorus]
Shock me
I've needed a surprise
Shock me
I've needed a surprise
Shock me
[Chorus]
Shock me
I've needed a surprise
Shock me
I've needed a surprise
Shock me
