Give It Up
MISUN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna stay cause it's my life
Pullin' in air with you
Stay by my side
Don't wash it away, I need more time
Stars are far, it's an uphill climb
Pullin' in air with you
Listen tonight
I've got a whole lot of questions
Followed by a ton of fears to swallow
Does it take magic?
Illusions of losing control
What if we don't make it?
I guess I have to risk it
And so I say
Please don't wash it away
Don't wash it away, I'll give my time
I'm gonna stay cause it's my life
Pullin' in air with you
Stay by my side
Don't wash it away, I need more time
Stars are far, it's an uphill climb
Pullin' in air with you
Listen tonight
...
Don't wash it away, I'll give my time
I'm gonna stay cause it's my life
Pullin' in air with you
Stay by my side
Don't wash it away, I need more time
Stars are far, it's an uphill climb
Pullin' in air with you
Listen tonight
I've got a whole lot of questions
Followed by a ton of fears to swallow
Does it take magic?
Illusions of losing control
What if we don't make it?
I guess I have to risk it
And so I say
Please don't wash it away
Don't wash it away, I'll give my time
I'm gonna stay cause it's my life
Pullin' in air with you
Stay by my side
Don't wash it away, I need more time
Stars are far, it's an uphill climb
Pullin' in air with you
Listen tonight
