Lyrics Give It Up - The Big Pink

Give It Up

With love I tried to warm that heart
Looking back, we were lost from the start
All locked up in your own mind
It’s no surprise your tongue was tied
We did bad things when we were young
You’d smile and torture me just for fun
When the sun went down, I replayed the past
I knew every scene, it went by so fast
When I have the strength enough to fight
When the fire that burns goes out inside
Cry for desire to change your mind
What’s left to play is your hardest role
Give it up, give it up for me
You make your move, get after it
Give it up, it doesn’t have to be so hard
Give it up, give it up for me
You make your move, get after it
Give it up, it doesn’t have to be so hard
Twenty-four floors above the ground
We shared the city’s silver sound
A glass of goose, a magnetic stare
Behind those eyes, there was nothing there
Strange little girl, what did you do?
I could always see straight through you
It’s so pretty on the other side
Your reflection will fool us all in time
When I have the strength enough to fight
When the fire that burns goes out inside
Cry for desire to change your mind
What’s left to play is your hardest role
Give it up, give it up for me
You make your move, get after it
Give it up, it doesn’t have to be so hard
Give it up, give it up for me
You make your move, get after it
Give it up, it doesn’t have to be so hard
And I know it won’t be long
'Til I give up
And the roles reverse, and I give you another chance
And I’d love to try again
Try again to warm that heart
Give it up, give it up for me
You make your move, get after it
Give it up, it doesn’t have to be so hard
Give it up, give it up for me
You make your move, get after it
Give it up, it doesn’t have to be so hard
