King and a Pawn Lyrics by Rose Hotel

A Pawn Surrender

2024

[Verse 1]
Tell me the point of seeing the other side
Flipping a coin, trying to decide
If I should listen to the voice
That's telling me to take it all in stride

[Verse 2]
You're an opponent of a certain kind
Soft on the surface, making me nervous about what's behind
The poetic language, seems like you're spinning silk with every line

[Chorus]
All we got left is a king and a pawn
We're caught in a stalemate, baby
And that's just what's wrong
Cornering each other, avoiding every movе
Refusing to surrender
Evеn when it's the best we could do
Best we could do

[Verse 3]
How long's it gonna take for you to choose
What to hold on to and what you can afford to lose?
If you pursue the fight over the sacrifice, it only proves

[Chorus]
All we got left is a king and a pawn
We're caught in a stalemate, baby
And that's just what's wrong
Cornering each other, avoiding every move
Refusing to surrender
Even when it's the best we could do

[Bridge]
Hard to break the habit of staying static
And automatically letting things slide
Into complacency, cruising aimlessly
Just to say we tried

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
All we got left is a king and a pawn
We're caught in a stalemate, baby
And that's just what's wrong
Cornering each other, avoiding every move
Refusing to surrender
Even when it's the best we could do
Best we could do
