Sam Stucky - Surprise! Lyrics

A couple of chairs and the smell of plaster
Set the stage for our forever after
Who's that kid? The one who's sleeping in
But before I learned to kick the habit
Our tangled life was automatic
Where's the music? Cue the violins
We're talking too much
With our "what about's", our "why's it all's," oh
Maybe just because
Nothing beats that very first high
The one you feel the very first time
Bet you thought I was a wonderful guy
Well, surprise
Big surprise
Big surprise
Those same two chairs they symbolize
The wooden legs, wearing out with time
The price for love is higher on day one
So take me back, though it won't last
We could skip every morning class
If we don't sleep, the morning never comes
We're talking too much
With our "what about's", our "why's it all's," oh
Maybe just because
Nothing beats that very first high
The one you feel the very first time
I bet you thought I was a hell of a guy
Well, surprise
Big surprise
Big surprise
It's seems a little different when you strip it all away
The highs and lows, oh I don't know if we're better off this way
Think of all the time spent, and how we've come so far
It sounded so much better at the start
Nothing beats that very first high
The one you feel the very first time
I bet you thought I was a hell of a guy
Well, surprise
And so I'll try to kick the habit
And not to think too much about it
Forever searching back towards day one
