Brighten Up The Night
She pushed higher than I thought she would have
I fell harder than I probably should have
It wasn't like it was supposed to be
I just really liked the way she looked at me
I never asked for trouble, no
I've wasted years on trouble, though
But nothing caught me now 'til this
I never had the need or felt the risk
Don't give me hope
Don't give me nothing I can hold
Just let me know and I'll let you go
'Cause this ain't no joke
We ain't just kids on the playground skipping rope
Give me anything you wanna give
But don't give me hope
I want to try and understand you
I want to see you, not see through you
And if it's all some big illusion
I want to come to that conclusion
And it'd be better to lay off it
But that signal just won't transmit
The motion starts, the pistons firing
The same that's bound to wound up tiring
Don't give me hope
Don't give me nothing I can hold
Just let me know and I'll let you go
'Cause this ain't no joke
We ain't just kids on the playground skipping rope
Give me anything you wanna give
Don't give me hope
And is it something wild and romantic
Or tragic and totally frantic?
Either way you look at it, it's a bust
And there's rarely love where there's lust
So don't give me hope
Don't give me nothing I can hold
Just let me know and I'll let you go
'Cause this ain't no joke
We ain't just kids on the playground skipping rope
Give me anything you wanna give
Don't give me hope
Don't give me hope
Don't give me nothing I can hold
Just let me know and I'll let you go
'Cause this ain't no joke
We ain't just kids on the playground skipping rope
Give me anything you wanna give
Oh, don't give me hope
Now don't give me hope
I fell harder than I probably should have
It wasn't like it was supposed to be
I just really liked the way she looked at me
I never asked for trouble, no
I've wasted years on trouble, though
But nothing caught me now 'til this
I never had the need or felt the risk
Don't give me hope
Don't give me nothing I can hold
Just let me know and I'll let you go
'Cause this ain't no joke
We ain't just kids on the playground skipping rope
Give me anything you wanna give
But don't give me hope
I want to try and understand you
I want to see you, not see through you
And if it's all some big illusion
I want to come to that conclusion
And it'd be better to lay off it
But that signal just won't transmit
The motion starts, the pistons firing
The same that's bound to wound up tiring
Don't give me hope
Don't give me nothing I can hold
Just let me know and I'll let you go
'Cause this ain't no joke
We ain't just kids on the playground skipping rope
Give me anything you wanna give
Don't give me hope
And is it something wild and romantic
Or tragic and totally frantic?
Either way you look at it, it's a bust
And there's rarely love where there's lust
So don't give me hope
Don't give me nothing I can hold
Just let me know and I'll let you go
'Cause this ain't no joke
We ain't just kids on the playground skipping rope
Give me anything you wanna give
Don't give me hope
Don't give me hope
Don't give me nothing I can hold
Just let me know and I'll let you go
'Cause this ain't no joke
We ain't just kids on the playground skipping rope
Give me anything you wanna give
Oh, don't give me hope
Now don't give me hope
