Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We left saying no goodbyes
It never seemed like much
but now I wonder why
So why, why, why, Do I miss you badly?
If I close my eyes, you're the one that I'm with
No matter how hard I try
And everyday I tune into the love we save inside
And I'm giving it up
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-I'm on my way Na-na-na-na-na
I'm giving all my love to you
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na- I'm on my way Na-na-na-na-na
Give it up, give it up, give up to love
You make life much easier
and I just wanna please ya'
Yeah now, now, now I feel it madly
I won't say no, no, no to what's inside me
'cause I can't sing without you
No matter how hard I try
And everyday I tune into the love we save inside
And I'm giving it up
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-I'm on my way Na-na-na-na-na
I'm giving all my love to you
Give it up now
Give it up, Hey!
Give it up now
Give it up, give it up, give up to love
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na I'm on my way Na-na-na-na-na
I'm giving all my love to you

The summer sun went down,
As the sun set on the summer day, our time together came to an end
We left saying no goodbyes
We didn't want to say goodbye, so we left without doing so
It never seemed like much
Our time together never felt like it was anything special
but now I wonder why
Looking back, I can't understand why I didn't appreciate it more
So why, why, why, Do I miss you badly?
I'm left wondering why I miss you so much
If I close my eyes, you're the one that I'm with
Even when I'm not with you physically, you're always on my mind
'cause I can't sing without you
You are so important to me that I can't even sing without thinking of you
No matter how hard I try
Even if I try my best to focus on something else, I can't help but think of you
And everyday I tune into the love we save inside
Everyday, I try to remember and cherish the love we have for each other
And I'm giving it up
I'm fully committing and giving my all to this love
Na-na-na-na-na
A musical interlude
Na-na-I'm on my way Na-na-na-na-na
I'm on my way to you
I'm giving all my love to you
I'm completely dedicating myself to loving you
You make life much easier
You bring so much joy and ease to my life
and I just wanna please ya'
I only want to make you happy and bring you joy
Yeah now, now, now I feel it madly
I'm feeling my love for you stronger than ever before
I won't say no, no, no to what's inside me
I won't deny my feelings for you and I'm ready to fully express them
Give it up now
Fully commit to this love now
Give it up, Hey!
Let's fully embrace this love
Give it up, give it up, give up to love
Let's give all we have to this love we share
Na-na I'm on my way Na-na-na-na-na
I'm on the way to you, right now
I'm giving all my love to you
I'm completely dedicating myself to loving you
