Give It Up

about

This song was one that was fun to write musically, but more fun to write vocally. We always try to be intentional about the structure of each song we write not just for the sake of doing so, but so that each song can gain it's own identity apart from the rest or joined with the rest if that's our end goal. Some will have your typical verse, pre-chorus, chorus type of structure, and some will be completely different from that, this was one of those songs that we were able to break away from the typical structure and create a piece of art that could stand by itself. The ironic thing is, the song we were most structurally intentional about standing alone, actually ended up being the basis from which we titled the entire project.

lyrics

so I lay sleeping with eyes unafraid
cause you’re right next to me chasing fear away
and for the moment my heart finds it rest
but it seems dreaming comes easiest

it’s something you refuse to show
left in fear between yes and no
just give it up, give it up
and come on home

I’ve given every reason to want me close
I never meant to ruin all you know
still I can’t stand to see you go

so you said this time I’ll never leave
cause you’ve run back here more times than I can think and for the moment I believe it true
maybe this time love will make you the fool

it’s something I don’t think you know
stuck in place and torn where to go
lay your head to bed, wake up your heart
don’t let go, don’t let go

the smile you held when we said goodbye
give it up
the lie you held me on through the night
give it up
the hope you hold in my endless sky
give it up
cause I’m leaving

cause you were everything to me

I’ve given every reason to want me close
I never meant to ruin all you know
still I can’t stand to see you go

I’ve given every reason to want me close
I never meant to ruin all you know
still I don’t want to see you go
