John Marc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every prideful second
You can take my eyes
Attention undivided
You can take my hands
Away from all the counterfeits
You can take my word
And all it's broken promises
Oh there's a give and take in falling in love
You make it easier than I ever thought
I'll give up everything I'm holding on to
Just to hold you, just to hold you
You can have my strength
When the world feels heavy
You can have my faith
When it gets hard to keep going
You can have my voice
You're the only song I wanna sing
You can have my heart
When you're losing yours
Oh there's a give and take in falling in love
You make it easier than I ever thought
I'll give up everything I'm holding on to
Just to hold you, just to hold you
There's nothing that can keep
That can keep me from loving you
There's nothing else I want
Nothing else that's even close to you
Oh there's nothing that could keep
That could keep me from loving you
Oh there's a give and take in falling in love
You make it easier than I ever thought
I'll give up everything I'm holding on to
Just to hold you, just to hold you
(You can have my everything, everything, everything)
Oh there's a give and take in falling in love
(You can have my everything, everything, everything)
You make it easier than I ever thought
(You can have my everything, everything, everything)
I'll give up everything I'm holding on to
(You can have my everything, everything, everything)
Just to hold you, just to hold you
