Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As if it were subversive or dangerous
In lopsided spray-painted letters
On the concrete support of the train truss
Last night, somebody wrote
Don't give up now
[Chorus]
Don't give up now
And it hit me like a truck, you know
Oh, don't give up now
Don't give up
[Verse 2]
God, how I wish that the sweet earnestness of a vandal's prayer
Could offer a moment's relief
'Cause you're hurting worse than a person deserves
And it's almost too much to bear
That you can't share the burden with me
[Verse 3]
'Cause in a blink, this'll all be no more than a dream lost to daylight
A little hint of a hue, a blue note in the dim glow of hindsight
So let it wash, wash over you
So let it wash, wash, and be through
But don't give up now
[Chorus]
Don't give up now
Don't give up now
Don't give up now
It'll all be past before you know
So don't give up now
Don't give up
