What Gives?
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.
It's an ordinary morning
And everything is as it should be.
(So it seems.)
And there isn't any warning.
I know that something is wrong,
But I can't quite put my finger on it.
I can tell that something is missing.
I can tell that everything is going to go to hell.
But it doesn't have to **
you're not making a sound but I'm hearing **
It sounds like something has got to give.
It sounds like something has got to give, give.
It's a matter of perception.
It's a matter of extrapolating.
(why **)
It's a matter of deception.
When you're not saying a word, but I hear like your
speaking aloud.
It sounds like something has got to give.
It sounds like something has got to give, give.
It sounds like something has got to give.
It sounds like something has got to give.
It sounds like something has got to give.
It sounds like something has got to give, give.
