Center stage
Subtle introduction
We’ve been trading eyes all night
After all
We both came here for something
Fast talk like it’s going out of style
While the same songs play on and on
Kiss me hard, baby, I don’t wanna know
How to let you go
I won’t let you go tonight
Kiss me hard, baby, I don’t wanna know
How to let you go
But only for tonight
Center stage
Not a big production
We’ve been running lines all night
Faded light
Innocent seduction
Makes for an engaging storyline
And we play along
Kiss me hard, baby, I don’t wanna know
How to let you go
I won’t let you go tonight
Kiss me hard, baby, I don’t wanna know
How to let you go
But only for tonight
Head for the door at the final scene
I’ll trade the night for the memory
Head for the door at the final scene
I’ll trade the night for a memory, please
Kiss me hard, baby, I don’t wanna know
How to let you go
I won’t let you go tonight
Kiss me hard, baby, I don’t wanna know
How to let you go
But only for tonight

I thought you should know
I’m leaving on the first flight tomorrow
Bags are packed I got no time left to borrow
I think it’s finally time
For me to go my own way
Can’t wait, stuck here in the middle
If I could even change a little
I’d stay
And be who you want me to be
Leave a note, leave a key and lock the door
Can’t keep lying to you anymore
Soon
We’ll be who we’re meant to be
Promise you, it’s not a question of caring
It’s just these new lessons I’m learning
You’ve got to learn to let me go
I promise I’ll call when I land
Can’t wait, stuck here in the middle
If I could even change a little
I’d stay
And be who you want me to be
Leave a note, leave a key and lock the door
Can’t keep lying to you anymore
Soon
We’ll be who we’re meant to be
If I could give it up
I’d stay right here by your side
If it was enough, I’d stay
But it would be a lie
Can’t wait, stuck here in the middle
If I could even change a little
I’d stay
And be who you want me to be
Leave a note, leave a key and lock the door
Can’t keep lying to you anymore
Soon
We’ll be who we’re meant to be
This will all make sense some day
This will all make sense some day
This will all make sense some day

Silence
It pierces right through me
It’s noiseless
The words he said to me
You said, you give up you’re done with me
Oh no
I did it again I broke it down
Slipped right through my hands
You said, you give up you’re done with me
I don’t know how to fix this
But I know that I want to
This is my attempt at a love song
It’s messy, it’s broken, it’s true
I wish I could give you everything
But I don’t know how to love you
It’s true I’ve never been sure
This lonely road
I’ve been here before
It’s my fault
I know this I’m trying to change
Maybe I’ve always been scared
To know that you actually care
It’s easier
To believe you’ll disappoint me
You say you just want to love me
But I don’t know how to let you
This is my attempt at a love song
It’s messy, it’s broken, it’s true
I wish I could give you everything
But I don’t know how to love you
If you could give me some time
I could learn to be what you need
This is my attempt at a love song
It’s messy, it’s broken, it’s true
I wish I could give you everything
But I don’t know how to love you
But I know that I love you

Sitting with you in a low lit pub
Talking about your ex-love
Maybe, I’m making something out of nothing
But I think I want you
Listen to vinyl on your bedroom floor
Hands close, but they’re not touching, no
I want something more than a maybe
You’re filling me with indecision
I want to know just how you’re feeling, yeah
Why don’t you just move
Go ahead make your move
Why don’t you just move
Weeks pass, and you still call me late at night
But I know, something just isn’t right
Because we…
talk and talk and nothing ever happens
And I know I’ve been here before
I’m always the one who wants to be more
But would it kill us to try
To try..
To make a move
Why don’t you just move
Come on
And Move a little closer
Before this night is over
Why don’t you just move
Oh yeah
Come on move a little closer to me
Come on move a little closer to me
Come on
Come on
Move
Why don’t you just move
Come on move a little closer
Before this night over
Go ahead make your move

Questions
Circling around my brain
Invading all my senses
Questions
Things that I need answers to
But things that I can’t get from you
Play my soul like the bass and the beat
Love me good sweep me off my feet
In the morning I’ll learn the truth
That you won’t be here in a week
The hardest part of loving is letting go
You said that you love me but it’s all for show
If loving you is right I guess I’m always wrong
You’re a lover, you’re a leaver, heartbreaker
Vagabond
Vagabond
Patience
Trying to keep your gypsy soul
To say you’ll never leave me
Patience
No matter what you put me through
I’ll waste all my time wanting you
Play my soul like a bass and the beat
Your skin is the smell of my sheets
Left a note on my pillow that read
‘I’m sorry but I got to leave’
The hardest part of loving is letting go
You said that you love me but it’s all for show
If loving you is right I guess I’m always wrong
You’re a lover, you’re a leaver, heartbreaker
Vagabond
Vagabond
The hardest part of loving is letting go
You said that you love me but it’s all for show
If loving you is right I guess I’m always wrong
You’re a lover, you’re a leaver, heartbreaker…
The hardest part of loving is letting go
You said that you love me but it’s all for show
If loving you is right I guess I’m always wrong
You’re a lover, you’re a leaver, heartbreaker
Vagabond
Vagabond

You know I’ve been here long enough
Long enough to know exactly what we are doing
And I can take the blame for letting this go so long
But I think it’s stronger now than it ever was
Don’t say it out loud
I know what you’re thinking I’m thinking it now
How did we end up here
And how do we get out
Maybe 10,000 miles away
Maybe just a place in our minds
For maybe just a moment in time
We’ll forget what is real, and cross that line
Just for a moment you’re mine
You know that look could write 1,000 lines
Words of a story we won’t get to write
I just watch you wax poetic with your eyes
Hoping I can find you in my sleep tonight
Maybe 10,000 miles away
Maybe just a place in our minds
For maybe just a moment in time
We’ll forget what is real, and cross that line
And just for a moment we’re
Free
We’ll breathe this love alive
Just for a moment in time
We’ll forget what is real, and cross that line
Just for a moment you’re mine
Don’t say it out loud
I know what you’re thinking right now
Maybe 10,000 miles away
Maybe just a place in our minds
For maybe just a moment in time
We’ll forget what is real, and cross that line
Just for a moment we’re
Free
We’ll breathe this love alive
Just for a moment in time
We’ll forget what is real, and cross that line
Just for a moment you’re mine
(I will forever be wishing and waiting
To live out the story of us that you tell with your eyes)

Give me a taste of my medicine
Tell the doctor I’m back again
I can’t wait to get right next to you
I can’t escape the look in your eyes
Tell my mother I apologize
One day I will be well again
But until then
I’m not a person you can count on
I’ll disappoint you every time
Maybe I am the real problem
Cause I’ll always cross that line
Run around in circles
Hurting the people who love me the most
Ask me why
I don’t know
Give me a taste of my medicine
Tell the doctor I’m back again
I can’t wait to get right next to you
I can’t escape the look in your eyes
Tell my mother I apologize
One day I will be well again
It’s just a toxic situation
I always get myself into
Can’t believe you’re sticking with me
After all that I’ve put you through
Try to keep my distance
Cause keeping you safe
Means keeping you away from me
Don’t try to argue
Just let it be
Give me a taste of my medicine
Tell the doctor I’m back again
I can’t wait to get right next to you
I can’t escape the look in your eyes
Tell my mother I apologize
One day I will be well again
I hope that one day
I’ll be the person
You always believed I could be
But what if I’m not
What if this me
Give me a taste of my medicine
Tell the doctor I’m back again
I can’t wait to get right next to you
I can’t escape the look in your eyes
Tell my mother I apologize
One day I will be well again
But until then

Spent the night wrapped up in these unforgiving sheets
You’ve been my reflection of everything I need
Trapped behind the tender touch and bedsheet pleasantries
Fading in and out of paralyzing memories
I said
Flicker me on fire or just blow me out
How can I be in love, how can I be in love
Flicker me on fire or just blow me out
How can I be in love, how can I be in love
The morning wakes me beside you, it’s telling me to go
I’ll sing a sad song to myself still drunk on the drive home
There’s a difference between what you see and everything you don’t
I promise you my honesty but you honestly can’t know
About the hurt behind these cover-up eyes that burns so slow
Flicker me on fire or just blow me out
How can I be in love, how can I be in love
Flicker me on fire or just blow me out
How can I be in love, how can I be in love
I want to tell you, though
my tongue is tied and slow
The fragile fragments of my heart keep beating
If I could learn right now to tell the truth of how
I might love you
Flicker me on fire or just blow me out
How can I be in love, how can I be in love
Flicker me on fire or just blow me out
How can I be in love, how can I be in love

Lover, I’m writing you this note on an inside cover
Of a storybook we wrote of each time we touched
And laughed and cried and screamed and made up
We’re always making up
We’re on our own
Looking for a reason to stay
But something’s telling me to run away
I won’t give up hope, that I’ll find my way in you
I’ll burn every bridge, every path, every breath, chasing you
Lover, I’m screaming out your name on a stage under cover
Because it never feels the same each time we talk
Afraid of what comes next if we break it off
We’re always breaking up
We’re on our own
Searching for a reason to stay
Something’s telling me to run away
I won’t give up hope, that I’ll find my way in you
I’ll burn every bridge, every path, every breath, chasing you
Feels like our time is running out
But I can’t stand to let you down
I won’t give up hope, that I’ll find my way in you
I’ll burn every bridge, every path, every breath, chasing you

I look out over the empty seats
Another underwhelming symphony
I’m fighting just to feel complete
Feeling overwhelmed of where I stand
In relation to what I have planned
As the wheel slips further from my hand
Why do I do this?
What am I thinking?
Where am I going?
What the hell am I doing here?
Turn the light on when you leave me
Cause I can’t stand to sleep tonight
In the morning I’ll let it be
One day I’ll be fine
I’m living in the space between
What I want and what I need
I’m fighting just to feel anything
I sing out, I sing loud enough to show
That dreams do not exist to let go
There’s strength in knowing I’m not alone
Why do I do this?
What am I thinking?
Where am I going?
What the hell am I doing here
Turn the light on when you leave me
Cause I can’t stand to sleep tonight
In the morning I’ll let it be
One day I’ll be fine
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
That one day I’ll be fine
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
That one day I’ll be fine
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
That one day I’ll be fine
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
That one day
Turn the light on when you leave me
Cause I can’t stand to sleep tonight
In the morning I’ll let it be
One day I’ll be fine
When I see the dawn is breaking
And my hearts been torn in two
I’ll remember what you told me
One day I’ll be fine
Turn the light on when you leave me
Cause I can’t stand to sleep tonight
In the morning I’ll let it be
One day I’ll be fine

On Borrowed Time, SUREFIRE’s debut full length album, is available now! The project, which is 2 and a half years in the making, showcases the trio’s dynamic songwriting style and hits you with the rhythm to make you move. The ten song album brings the band’s traditional pop/rock influence, while also taking turns to more indie-folk/rock vibes, emotional piano and orchestral ballads, and ‘kick you in the gut’ rock anthems.
Established in 2016 by Natalie Flango and Jason Duty, SUREFIRE has found its form with the addition of Garrett Glausser. Three self-described ‘different individuals’, find a mutual purpose and outlook through songwriting. The songs navigate a collective introspection about ‘where we are: and where we are going’. That theme is reflected in the album title ‘On Borrowed Time’ and in songs like ‘Dear Music,’. The introspective vibes are more overt and personal in songs like ‘TWAMSSD’ and ‘I’ll Be Fine’, which focus on a hopeful outlook for the future, singing closing lines of ‘This will all make sense some day’ and ‘One day, I’ll be fine’.
With the release of this album, SUREFIRE is ready to move forward, taking the experiences together during the last two years and building on this journey. The band has high hopes that the the words, the emotion, and the yearning for what comes next will resonate with listeners in their hearts. And the trademark SUREFIRE musical punch and head turning vocals will stay stuck in listeners’ heads (and hips). Turn it on. Turn it up.
