Let Me Know When You Give Up
I write a short song, about a long song
A vow to you, a note to everyone
A stroke of blue, uncommonly cool
Painting a coat, not meant to last long
For us both, we can do anything we want
When you give up
You’ll have to say your fine
Before I say good-bye, before I hang up
And I won’t lie to you
It does seem hopeless, I’m losing focus
As we wait for sea change
Wait for the next wave
The storm that’s coming
The storm is coming home
Let me know when you give up, all hope and light
Let me know when you’re wasted, I’m feeling alright
When you’re feeling anxious, we’ll start the climb
When our will is broken, we’ll build a new life
When your fight is finished
I know I’m more secure state of mind
Let me know when you’re stranded, I’ll rescue you
When you’ve lost position, we’ll scout for a view
Whenever you’re ready, there is a simple cure
For the cold
I know, we can be comfortable
Let’s go, what are you fighting for?
Let go
Let me know when you give up, I’ll bring the map
When you’re frozen from panic, paralytic and trapped
It’s about survival, forgetting your rivals
Let me know when you give up, after giving it all
You were there to see the sky fall
For the sun
I know, there is another road
Let go, what are we waiting for?
Let’s go
