Don't Give Up on Love
Kygo & Sam Tinnesz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're falling backwards
And no one's catching ya
When your heart just shatters
Too many pieces to pick it up

You keep finding a way just to live alone
Nothing to say
Staring at your phone
And your life is going numb

Don't give up on love
When it doesn't work out the first time
Close your eyes and trust
That you gotta get low to get high
The world's full of second chances
You've gotta keep on dancing
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up on love (oh)

(Doesn't work out the first time)
(Gotta get low to get high)
(Doesn't work out the first time)
Don't give up on love
(Doesn't work out the first time)
(Gotta get low to get high)
(Doesn't work out the first time)
Don't give up on love

Living under water
And you can't catch your breath
Drifting farther
Almost off the edge

You keep thinking about all the better days
Spiraling out
Wishing it would change
Smiling through the pain (oh)

Don't give up on love
When it doesn't work out the first time
Close your eyes and trust
That you gotta get low to get high
The world's full of second chances
You've gotta keep on dancing
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up on love

(Doesn't work out the first time)
(Gotta get low to get high)
(Doesn't work out the first time)
Don't give up on love
(Doesn't work out the first time)
(Gotta get low to get high)
(Doesn't work out the first time)
Don't give up on love

Don't give up on love
When it doesn't work out the first time (first time)
Close your eyes and trust
That you gotta get low to get high (to get high)
The world's full of second chances (oh)
You've gotta keep on dancing (dancing)
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up on love

(Doesn't work out the first time)
(Gotta get low to get high)
(Doesn't work out the first time)
Don't give up on love
(Doesn't work out the first time)
(Gotta get low to get high)




(Doesn't work out the first time)
Don't give up on love

Overall Meaning

The song Don't Give Up on Love by Kygo and Sam Tinnesz is an uplifting anthem about the power of perseverance in the face of adversity. The lyrics speak to the universal experience of feeling alone and heartbroken, but encourages us to keep going and not give up on love. The opening stanza paints a bleak picture of falling backwards with nobody there to catch you, and a shattered heart too broken to pick up. The metaphorical picture of being in a dark place continues with the line "living under water and you can't catch your breath," which is a poignant analogy for feeling suffocated and helpless.


However, the chorus offers a message of hope and resilience, telling us not to give up on love just because it doesn't work out the first time. We are urged to trust and close our eyes to see better days, and to keep dancing through the pain. The repetition of the phrase "don't give up" in the chorus is a powerful reminder to keep pushing through tough times and to believe that love will come again.


Overall, the song Don't Give Up on Love is an inspirational call to action that reminds us to persevere and have faith that things will get better. It encourages us to keep dancing even in the darkest of moments and to always hold onto hope.
