Give Out

These are the official lyrics:

There were your eyes in the dark of the room, The only ones shining, The only set I had met in years. It's not because I always look down. It might be I always look out. It might be I always look out. I am biting my lip As confidence is speaking to me. I loosen my grip from my palm, Put it on your knee. In my way, I say You're the reason why I'll move to the city or Why I'll need to leave. You're the reason why I'll move to the city or Why I'll need to leave.

There was your breath on the back of my neck, The only one holding, The only one I had felt in years. It's not because I always hold on, It might be I always hold out. It might be I always hold out. I am biting my lip As confidence is speaking to me. I loosen my grip from my palm, Put it on your knee. In my way, I say You're the reason why I'll move to the city or Why I'll need to leave. You're the reason why I'll move to the city or Why I'll need to leave.

So what's with the eyes in the back of the room? The only ones trying. The only ones I have let in years. It's not because I always give up, It might be I always give out. It might be I always give out. It might be I always give out. It might be I always give out.

My favourite song on Tramp...gorgeous. Her melancholic lovelorn songs are always my favourites!

I hear it this way:

There were your eyes in the dark, of the room. The only ones shining the only set I have met in years.

It's not because I always look down It might be I always look out It might be I always look out

I'm biting my lip as confidence is speaking to me I loosen my grip from my palm and put it on your knee In my way, I say you're the reason why I'll move to the city or why I'll need to leave you're the reason why I'll move to the city or why I'll need to leave

There was your breath on the back of my neck The only one holding the only one I had let in years

It's not because I always hold out it might be I always hold on it might be I always hold on

I'm biting my lip as confidence is speaking to me I loosen my grip from my palm and put it on your knee In my way, I’ll say you're the reason why I'll move to the city or why I'll need to leave. you're the reason why I'll move to the city or why I'll need to leave

So what's with the eyes in the back of the room The only ones trying the only ones I have let in years It's not because I always give up It might be I always give out It might be I always give out It might be I always give out It might be I always give out

keep in mind, these are all variations on live interpretations... since the album isn't out yet. i've heard it several times, with slight differences. in most cases, i've chosen the way in which i've heard it more often than not.

there were your eyes in the dark of the room the only ones shining the only set i had met in years

it's not because i always look down it might be i always look out it might be i always look out

i am biting my lip as confidence is speaking to me i loosen my grip from my palm and put it on your knee

in my way, i say you're the reason why i'll move to the city, you're why i'll need to leave you're the reason why i'll move to the city, you're why i'll need to leave

there was your breath on the back of my neck the only one holding the only one i had felt in years

it's not because i always hold out it might be i always hold on it might be i always hold on

i am biting my lip as confidence is speaking to me i loosen my grip from my palm and put it on your knee

in my way, i say you're the reason why i'll move to the city, you're why i'll need to leave you're the reason why i'll move to the city, you're why i'll need to leave

so what's with the eyes in the back of the room the only ones trying the only ones i had let in years

it's not because i always give up it might be i always give out it might be i always give out it might be i always give out it might be i always give out

This narrates a first encounter, with someone that stands out in the crowd.

The reason of moving to city, for a meaningful relationship, and also the reason to leave, after it ends.

This is followed by a meditation on why such encounters are not more common. She doesn't look down, but looks out, beyond the people she meets. And doesn't give up on relationships but always gives out, makes a desire for something else felt.
