Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How many ways can you kill a man
That's all they understand
Wanna walk the garden with you
The twisted olive trees and the beautiful view
[Verse 2]
Surprised by the joy of this
Surprised I'm alive I guess
It's a one step at a time, my love
Say hello to the world again
You surprised by the joy of this
I can't describe this feeling
Surprised I'm alive I guess
I'll say hello to the world again
[Verse 3]
Someone filming you wherever you go
There's no privacy at all
I wanna walk the garden with you
Those twisted trees, the beautiful view
[Verse 4]
Surprised by the joy of this
Goodbye to the loneliness
I'm surprised by the joy of this
Say hello to the world again
You surprised by the joy of this
Surprised I'm alive I guess
It's a one step at a time, my love
I'll say hello to the world again
[Verse 5]
A natural rebel, here I am
But some of you won't understand
It's, uh, one step at a time, my love
I wanna give you all I got
[Verse 6]
I'm surprised by the joy I feel
I can't believe I'm alive I guess
I'm surprised by the joy of this
Surprised I'm alive I guess
It's, uh, one beat at a time, my love
I'll say hello to the world again
[Verse 7]
'Cause I'm not playing
And this is no lie
This is me saying
I wanna live, I wanna die
[Verse 8]
Yeah, yeah, surprised by the joy of this
Surprised by the joy of this
One beat at a time, my love
I'll say hello to the world again
It's, uh, one beat at a time, my girl
I'll say hello to the world again
I'm surprised by the joy
Surprised by the joy
I'm surprised by the joy
Surprised by the joy
(Surprised by the joy)
Ooh (Surprised by the joy)
(Surprised by the joy)
Yeah (Surprised by the joy)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Surprised (Surprised by the joy)
I'm surprised, I'm surprised, I'm surprised (Surprised by the joy)
So surprised , so surprised (Surprised by the joy)
