Give & Take
THE O.N.G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its a maze with no escape
Every world everything
Falls apart and fades away
Let it roll
Let us play
Turn it on
Stay awake
To lose it all or gain trust
Take and give
Give and take babe
Take and give babe hm
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
Fail and win babe hm
For as long as I live
Take and give
Give and take babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you
See the smoke, taste of fog
No more Light, endless night
Come along, nothing's wrong
Who is next? The game reversed
Pick me up, swallow me
Fill my cup, set me free
In the end, you will see
I'm the one
It's meant to be
Take and give
Give and take babe
Take and give babe hm
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
Fail and win babe hm
For as long as I live
Take and give
Give and take babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you
My heart, my heart
Was broken twice
Who cares, who cares
I paid the price
I know, i know
I shouldn't fail
My soul, my soul
Is not for sale
My heart, my heart
Was broken twice
Who cares, who cares
I paid the price
I know, i know
I shouldn't fail
My soul, my soul
Is not for sale
Ow wow wow Ow wow wow
Ow wow wow Ow wow wow
Ow wow wow Ow wow wow
Ow wow wow Ow wow wow
Take and give
Give and take babe
Take and give babe hmmmm
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
Fail and win babe hmmmm
For as long as I live
Take and give
Give and take babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you
