The Give
I got your cold, your record in carry-on
No, it ain't right, but it don't feel wrong
You've got a lot of that love delay
I got a shot, I'm never gonna give it away
Your mouth is open like a trap
And I can feel that sudden snap
Oh yes, I know, black is the colour
You can come over and get stoned
I can't lose what I never owned, but I've got something for you
Boy, have I got something for you
So this is how you live
And this is how it breaks
And this is how you give love
Love is the give that takes
No need to say something clever about energy
You got another lover but she sure ain't me
She'd go crazy, throw toys
It's not the same rules for girls and boys
Whatever you believe in
I can be your in-betweening
I'm a universal receiver
I get that rushing feeling
All the seconds we are stealing
Though I know that you won't leave her, boy
I know that you won't leave
So this is how you live
And this is how it breaks
And this is how you give love
Love is a give that takes
Black is the colour, heart of darkness
You showed me just how dark your heart is
Black is the colour, heart of darkness
You showed me just how dark your heart is
So this is how you live
And this is how it breaks
And this is how you give love
Love is a give that takes
Black is the colour, heart of darkness
You showed me just how dark your heart is
No, it ain't right, but it don't feel wrong
You've got a lot of that love delay
I got a shot, I'm never gonna give it away
Your mouth is open like a trap
And I can feel that sudden snap
Oh yes, I know, black is the colour
You can come over and get stoned
I can't lose what I never owned, but I've got something for you
Boy, have I got something for you
So this is how you live
And this is how it breaks
And this is how you give love
Love is the give that takes
No need to say something clever about energy
You got another lover but she sure ain't me
She'd go crazy, throw toys
It's not the same rules for girls and boys
Whatever you believe in
I can be your in-betweening
I'm a universal receiver
I get that rushing feeling
All the seconds we are stealing
Though I know that you won't leave her, boy
I know that you won't leave
So this is how you live
And this is how it breaks
And this is how you give love
Love is a give that takes
Black is the colour, heart of darkness
You showed me just how dark your heart is
Black is the colour, heart of darkness
You showed me just how dark your heart is
So this is how you live
And this is how it breaks
And this is how you give love
Love is a give that takes
Black is the colour, heart of darkness
You showed me just how dark your heart is
