Growing up in California In the land of broken dreams Always reaching, always stuck here in between Where the sunset shines like diamonds and the future looks so dark And the streets are filled with cold and lonely hearts And all the hometown heroes make up stories to send home And all the plastic smiles hide what it's like to feel alone And I know I'm not without sin Played my part in make-believe Coming out from underneath And I wanna be washed clean I surrender To this feeling; to this thump within my chest I surrender To the real me I've kept hidden from the rest I surrender I surrender I surrender Passing all the pretty faces On the corner of our streets Crowded places where nobody ever leaves Where the air is hot and heavy Like the secrets of our youth Always play it cool so no one knows the truth And all the hometown heroes make up stories to send home And all the plastic smiles hide what it's like to feel alone And I know I'm not without sin Played my part in make-believe I'm coming out from underneath And I wanna be washed clean I surrender To this feeling; to this thump within my chest I surrender To the real me I've kept hidden from the rest I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender to this feeling To this heart within my chest I surrender to the real me I've kept hidden from the rest I surrender I surrender I surrender
