Daughtry - No Suprise

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

[Chorus]
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why

[Chorus]

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories
The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you can't keep
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

The first single off Daughtry's second album, Leave This Town, which will be out on July 14. The band performed it for the first time on American Idol this week, which obviously I caught on TV, owing to my brother who's a faithful follower of the show x).

I love this song! Chris' voice sounds different somehow, as if he's having a cold. But either way, he still sounds great :). I've always liked how clear his pronounciation is ^^. Somehow the song sounds harder than his previous songs, but still has that softness to it. I don't know how to explain it, but I think rock/pop is the perfect genre for Chris. If all the songs in the new album are this good, the album is so going to rock :D.

All along I've been waiting for the band's second album, since the first was released ages ago in 2006, but I didn't expect it to be released this year. I said that this year I'm only going to buy Jay's album, but there's no way in hell I can miss Daughtry's, so I'll obviously be buying that too :DD.
