Give It Up For Love
Georgia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If not for us I would keep on trying to leave
Better off but I'm hardly wanting to deceive
Tried to knock me once but I felt my heart beneath my soul grow
It's for us that I'll keep on trying to believe

Ooh, when it hits our souls
Give it up for love
Ooh, if you're still not sure
Give it up for love, give it up love, give it up for love

Now and then I get lost in dysphoria
I want your love but I'm worried it's too much for ya
They tried to knock me down 'cause I felt my heart beneath my soul grow
So now I know that I'll keep on trying to believe

Ooh, when it hits our souls
Give it up for love
Ooh, if you're still not sure
Give it up for love, give it up love, give it up for love

Just when I thought I should give up
That's the moment I found love (felt my heart beneath my soul)
Just when I thought I should give up
That's the moment I found love

(Felt my heart beneath my soul)

Ooh, when it hits our souls
Give it up for love
Ooh, if you're still not sure
Give it up for love, give it up love, give it up for love

If you're seeking redemption, if you're seeking Salvation
If you're seeking redemption, if you're seeking Salvation

Just when I thought I should give up (ooh, when it hits our souls)
That's the moment I found love (give it up love)




Just when I thought I should give up (ooh, if you're still not sure)
That's the moment I found love (give it up for love, give it up love, give it up for love)

I've crossed deserts for miles
Swam water for time
Searching places to find
A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming)
A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming)
Coming closer to you

Ran along many moors
Walked through many doors
The place where I want to be
Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming)
Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming)
Coming closer to you

I'm moving, I'm coming
Can you hear what I hear
It's calling you, my dear
Out of reach (Take me to my beach)
I can hear it calling you
I'm coming, not drowning
Swimming closer to you

Never been here before
I'm intrigued, I'm unsure
I'm searching for more
I've got something that's all mine
I've got something that's all mine

Take me somewhere I can breathe
I've got so much to see
This is where I want to be
In a place I can call mine
In a place I can call mine

I'm moving, I'm coming
Can you hear what I hear
It's calling you, my dear
Out of reach (Take me to my beach)
I can hear it calling you
I'm coming, not drowning
Swimming closer to you

Moving, coming
Can you hear what I hear? (Hear it out of reach)
I hear it calling you
Swimming closer to you

Many faces I have seen
Many places I have been
Walked the deserts, swam the shores (Coming closer to you)
Many faces I have known
Many ways in which I've grown
Moving closer on my own (Coming closer to you)

I move it, I feel it
I'm coming, not drowning
I move it, I feel it
I'm coming, not drowning

I'm moving, I'm coming
Can you hear what I hear
It's calling you, my dear
Out of reach (Take me to my beach)
I can hear it calling you
I'm coming, not drowning
Swimming closer to you (Take me to my beach)

I'm moving, I'm coming
Can you hear what I hear
It's calling you, my dear
Out of reach (Take me to my beach)
I can hear it calling you
I'm coming, not drowning
Swimming closer to you
(Take me to my beach)

I'm moving, I'm coming
Can you hear what I hear
It's calling you, my dear
Out of reach (Take me to my beach)
I can hear it calling you

Georgia, my name is Georgia. I saw you live in Brighton back in 2019. Your music meant a lot to me back then and your music now means just as much to me, if not more. Thank you for your sweet sounding soul.
