Give It Back
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.
Can I keep my head when all around me are losing theirs
Can I keep my secrets close
Can I hold my course in this tiny vessel steady
Will I reach the farthest coast
It's rolling away from me
As far as the eye can see
But While this journey's long it's joyful
'Cause you are here with me
I've been living for tomorrow
Forgot to live today
This sweet life is only borrowed
Got to give it back some day
Can I feed this beast with everything I've got and more
Who will suffer if I don't
Who's the puppetmaster pulling me towards the shore
Do I want to cut the ropes
It's rolling away from me
As far as the eye can see
But while this journey's long it's joyful
'Cause you are here with me
I've been living for tomorrow
Forgot to live today
This sweet life is only borrowed
Got to give it back some day
It's rolling away from me
I'm sailing so fast it's hard to see the light that shines from you
Is all I really need, it's all I need
I've been living for tomorrow
Forgot to live today
This sweet life is only borrowed
Got to give it back some day
