Story Behind The Song

On the surface, the song is one of comfort and protection - assuring someone that he/she will be cared for and safe from harm... However, as the song proceeds, we discover that all is not as it seems, Theis relationship is perfect except for one fatal flaw: one person is intent on being totally in control. We start to hear lyrics that indicate that "power" is an issue in the relationship: "Ambition, position - all play the game, all play a part." And we hear lyrics that indicate that someone has the mindset for eventually going too far: "Volition, submission - It's all the same in my heart." The darkest of thoughts can hide in even the sunniest of relationships...

Song Description

Intimate, pop ballad in the style of Savage Garden – but with a dark twist… Even the most perfect relationships can have a fatal flaw... In this case, someone is not being protective, but rather - overprotective.

Lyrics

SURROUND

The night is on fire
I’m movin’ in close
The temperature’s higher
So hot, and it shows

My spirit grows wings now
We fly in our love
Forget what you think now
And I’ll be enough

So if you’re sure
Let this place be all that you’ve ever wanted
And I’ll be more
More than you ever dreamed

Temptations
Sensations
All come alive when I surround you
Elation
Starvation
A hunger that arrests you

I’m callin’
You’re fallin’
Into my arms so I’m around you
Come to me
You move me
You’re safe from harm when I surround you

The flame’s burning brighter
The heat melts our ice
It worships the night for
Our love’s paradise

It’s feelin’ so right now
We drown in desire
Perspire all night now
Give in to the raging fire

So rise above
Race against the dawn and the morning light
Redeem our love
Now that I’ve closed in tight

Ambition
Position
All play the game, all play a part
Volition
Submission
It’s all the same in my heart

I’m touchin’
I’m teasin’
You’re lost but love has come and found you
You’re flying
And dying
You’ll feel it all when I surround you

All illusions will die
You’ll open your eyes
And wonder if I am still there or if I have abandoned you
But you’ll feel me near
Feel my love appear
And I’ll never leave and I’ll never let go, I’m forever true

The moon will rise
And I’ll baptize
You in my arms
Nothing to fear
I’ll be here
Don’t you worry now

Temptations
Sensations
All come alive when I surround you
Elation
Starvation
A hunger that arrests you

I’m callin’
You’re fallin’
Into my arms so I’m around you
Come to me
You move me
You’re safe from harm when I surround you

Ambition
Suspicion
All play the game, all play a part
Volition
Submission
It’s all the same in my heart

I’m touchin’
I’m teasin’
You’re lost but love has come and found you
You’re flying
And dying
You’ll feel it all when I surround you

You’ll feel it all when I surround you
