Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know something's very wrong

The pulse returns the prodigal sons

The blackout hearts, the flowered news

With skull designs upon my shoes

[Verse 2]

I can't give everything

I can't give everything

Away

I can't give everything

Away

[Verse 3]

Seein' more and feelin' less

Sayin' no but meanin' yes

This is all I ever meant

That's the message that I sent

[Verse 4]

I can't give everything

I can't give everything

Away

I can't give everything

Away

I can't give everything

I can't give everything

Away

I can't give everything

Away

[Verse 5]

I know something's very wrong

The pulse returns the prodigal sons

The blackout hearts, the flowered news

With skull designs upon my shoes

[Verse 6]

I can't give everything

I can't give everything

Away

I can't give everything

Away

I can't give everything

I can't give everything

Away

I can't give everything

Away
