Cover art for Give Out lyrics by Sharon Van Etten

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

slightly updated version:

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, 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...
