Kina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holdin' on to the times called better
We gotta fight everyday
But still not wanting to say, "Let's end"
And it's me you say that
Never does the things you want me to do
And I scream, you're not the man that
If you could give me a rose
I'll go and get you a beer
If you come home more times
Then I'll spend more time here
If we could go for a walk
Sometimes, I'd hold your hand
Give me what I need
I'll meet you halfway
If you could share with me
I could see nothin' but you
If you could put me first
First of all would be you
We'd be okay
If we remember that
It's give and take
Let's have a meeting of minds
Just take some time to be one, it's worth it
If you put me before you
And I put you before me, we're fine
So tell me all the things you need
And I'll try to see 'em through
Because it's we, it's not me, we, it's not you
Babe, can we call a truce
If you could give me a rose
I'll go and get you a beer
If you come home more times
Then I'll spend more time here
If we could go for a walk
Sometimes, I'd hold your hand
Give me what I need
I'll meet you halfway
If you could share with me
I could see nothin' but you
If you could put me first
First of all would be you
We'd be okay
If we remember that
It's give and take
God, I love you
We can make it through
No me without you
It's us, it's we, it's me, it's you
The lyrics to Kina's song "Give and Take" talk about the struggles that come with relationships and the need for compromise and mutual understanding. The opening line, "This is no way to live, Holdin' on to the times called better," suggests a longing for a better time in the relationship. The following lines express the desire for the other person to do what they want without having to ask for it. This lack of communication leads to frustration and disappointment, as expressed in the line, "And I scream, you're not the man that Said a while back, 'All that I need is you'."
The chorus talks about the importance of compromise and meeting halfway. The lines "If you could give me a rose, I'll go and get you a beer, If you come home more times, Then I'll spend more time here" show that it's about small gestures and making an effort for one another. The line "It's give and take" summarizes the main theme of the song, which is the need for balance and cooperation in a relationship.
The second verse talks about the importance of communication and understanding each other's needs. The line "If you put me before you, And I put you before me, we're fine" expresses the idea that putting the other person's needs first ultimately benefits the relationship as a whole. The bridge emphasizes the importance of working together and loving each other. The song ends with the lines "God, I love you, We can make it through, No me without you, It's us, it's we, it's me, it's you," which express the deep love and connection between the two people.
