Got to Give

In photographs I look so old

And the faces around me tell different stories

They want different things than they did at 17

Stuck between the longing

Early evenings, late night dreams

Desperately searchin' to feel something

'Cause there's no problems when you're young

I need what you've got to give

So give it in spades

You're a shining light when the world's a palette of gray

I need what you've got to give

So give it in spades

You're a shining light, and I've always felt that way

The slow, loud creak of a hardwood floor

We'd argue about who loves each other more

And how we'd never be afraid

To know about where this goes

To feel about where this leads

Give me a reason to feel something

'Cause there's no problems when you're young

And I can taste tomorrow on my tongue

I need what you've got to give

So give it in spades

You're a shining light when the world's a palette of gray

I need what you've got to give

So give it in spades

You're a shining light, and I've always felt that way

Shine on me, shine on me

I need what you've got to give me

Shine on me, shine on me

I need what you've got to give me

Shine on me, shine on me

I need what you've got to give me

Shine on me, shine on me

I need what you've got to give me

(Shine on me, shine on me)

I need what you've got to give

(I need what you've got to give me)

So give it in spades

(Shine on me, shine on me)

You're a shining light when the world's a palette of gray

(I need what you've got to give me)

(Shine on me, shine on me)

I need what you've got to give

(I need what you've got to give me)

So give it in spades

(Shine on me, shine on me)

You're a shining light, and I've always felt that way

(I need what you've got to give me)
