What Can I Give You? Lyrics
All my life, I've failed
To see the one good thing
Standing in front of me
Yea, and the planets
Gravitate around you
And the stars
Oh the stars surround you
And the angels
In heaven adore you
And the saints
The saints all stand and applaud you
What can I give you?
What can I give you in return?
Galaxies collide
They shout out around you
And I surge, I stumble
And then I found you
In your robe, in your gown
Reaching low, babe
Reaching low down to the ground
What can I give you?
What can I give you in return?
What can I give you?
What can I give you in return?
To see the one good thing
Standing in front of me
Yea, and the planets
Gravitate around you
And the stars
Oh the stars surround you
And the angels
In heaven adore you
And the saints
The saints all stand and applaud you
What can I give you?
What can I give you in return?
They shout out around you
And I surge, I stumble
And then I found you
In your robe, in your gown
Reaching low, babe
Reaching low down to the ground
What can I give you?
What can I give you in return?
What can I give you in return?

It's about being unsure as to what you can contribute to a relationship... generally thinking you're a mess, a total fuck-up, while the other person is so perfect they are nearly glorified in your eyes.
