[Verse 1]
Echoes in the dark
You called out my name
I chained myself in a cellar
Built out of failure and shame
You try to give me shelter
I kept choosing the rain
I'm standing on a ledge
Above a fall I can't face
But you pushed me anyway

[Chorus]
You got me in a free fall, you're my sweet surrender
You wrapped me in a white flag in my darkest hours
So tell me will you stay now?
'Cause I feel like I'm saved now
You got me in a free fall, you're my sweet surrender

[Verse 2]
Didn't even try to cry out for help
The only thing he ever did was help me destroy myself
I'm better now with you, even when I'm in hell
You pick me up, pull me out like nobody else
Yeah, you pushed the ground away

[Chorus]
You got me in a free fall, you're my sweet surrender
You wrapped me in a white flag in my darkest hours
So tell me will you stay now?
'Cause I feel like I'm saved now
You got me in a free fall, you're my sweet surrender

[Bridge]
I take off my armour when you love me harder
All my defences come down
I take off my armour when you love me harder
I'm alright, I'm alright now

[Chorus]
You got me in a free fall, you're my sweet surrender
You wrapped me in a white flag in my darkest hours
So tell me will you stay now?
'Cause I feel like I'm saved now
You got me in a free fall, you're my sweet surrender

[Outro]
I take off my armour when you love me harder
All my defences come down
I take off my armour when you love me harder
I'm alright, I'm alright now

Against the Current is a Pop-Rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that formed in 2011. It consists of lead singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/backing vocalist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.

Initally, they began as a cover band, gaining popularity on YouTube. They set to release a debut EP, Infinity and an acoustic EP containing the same songs. After its unexpected success, the band applied the same formula; they released their EP Gravity and they followed it with an acoustic session with the same songs.

Against the Current’s sound fell more on the pop side of the spectrum when they were signed to Fueled By Ramen in 2015 and released their debut full album In Our Bones.
