I Can't Give Everything Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know something is very wrong
The pulse returns for prodigal sons
With blackout hearts with flowered news
With skull designs upon my shoes
I can't give everything
I can't give everything
Seeing more and feeling less
Saying no but meaning yes
This is all I ever meant
That's the message that I sent
I can't give everything
I can't give everything
Away
I can't give everything
Away
I know something is very wrong
The pulse returns for prodigal sons
The blackout hearts with flowered news
With skull designs upon my shoes
I can't give everything
I can't give everything
Away
I can't give everything
Away
I can't give everything
I can't give everything
Away
I can't give everything
Away
