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
