Give Out - Sharon Van Etten

There were your eyes in the dark of the room

The only ones shining

The only set I had met in years

It’s not because I always look down

It might be I always look out

It might be I always look out

I am biting my lip

As confidence is speaking to me

I loosen my grip from my palm

Put it on your knee

In my way

I say

You’re the reason why I’ll move to the city or

Why I’ll need to leave

You’re the reason why I’ll move to the city or

Why I’ll need to leave

There was your breath on the back of my neck

The only one holding

The only one I had felt in years

It’s not because I always hold on

It might be I always hold out

It might be I always hold out

I am biting my lip

As confidence is speaking to me

I loosen my grip from my palm

Put it on your knee

In my way

I say

You’re the reason why I’ll move to the city or

Why I’ll need to leave

You’re the reason why I’ll move to the city or

Why I’ll need to leave

So what’s with the eyes in the back of the room?

The only ones trying

The only ones I have let in years

It’s not because I always give up

It might be I always give out

It might be I always give out

It might be I always give out

It might be I always give out
