Lyrics Surprised / Not Surprised - Jordan Klassen

Surprised / Not Surprised

I follow you to the park
Cumbersome and muted
Remember when we were young
The water undiluted
Our lungs were balloons filled with mirth
We didn’t need persuading
I reckon you’ve given up by now
All of your interest fading
And don’t I know so well?
You’ve got a different story to tell
Somewhere beyond the clouds
There lives an old accountant
He tallies the damns that you give
Pennies in a fountain
Just wishing that you’d unpack
That you would will some fury
His eyes are rolling right back
Another hanging jury
And don’t I know so well?
You’ve got a different story to tell
And don’t I know so well?
You’ve got a different story to tell
You bid me look outside
And every bird of spring is amplified
The garden by the woods
You understand my misunderstood
