Give It All Away Lyrics

Swinging round in circles, looking for the way,
Fleeing from the time when she wanted me to stay
My world is swirling round, this time I know it well,
Our love is coming down again

Then I realize inside me, I've had myself all wrong,
This time I know for certain, I've never been that strong
The moment you remember, those times you stop to think,
Our love will come undone again

But with demons sitting at my side,
An angel's come to ask me why
And slowly I give up inside to say
To feel alive, I'd give it all away

Destructive words to make it so, but none of this is you, you know

Another year, another week, another set of summer sheets
Another "we should hang out again soon"
Another drink, another kiss

And with demons sitting at my side,
Another angel asks me why
And it doesn't take too much to say
To feel alive, I'd give it all away

Again and again and again

Then she's sitting at my side
An angel's come to ask me why
And it takes nothing to say
To feel alive, I'll give it all away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I don't think this song is about sex. To me this song is about a relationship where there is fight after fight, "Our love is coming down again" and "Those time you stop to think, Our love will come undone again. He would give up all of his bad sides, his vices, his mistakes.. "Then I realize inside me, I've had myself all wrong." He would give them all away just to have the perfect relationship, "To feel alive, I'd give it all away."
