What I'd Give Up
The Classic Crime Lyrics
Woke up in a hotel
Three hours of sleep last night
Only thing real to me is a thirteen-hour drive
I lost my convictions
I have risked my life
I’ve seen the face of God through miles of black ice
Oh, I just wanted you to know
What I’d give up to give myself to you
I had my foundations
Only thing real to me was moving
The rest was fake
But I’ve got new direction
I feel winds of change
Still I’ve got my good reasons to stay the same
No I don’t need it anymore
The hotel floors the stage the lights the road
All I want to do is build a home
You’ve got my heart and my soul

Exactly 5805 copies of 'The Silver Cord' were sold in the first week. 5805 is a significant number because it is a song title on the album and it is the address of the house where the band formed and began to break out.
In 2010, 'Vagabonds' was released.

Jesus christ I just spent the last hour and a half searching for this song. I was searching for the lyrics for the only part I could remember which was "I just wanted you to know" so google gives me a shit ton of songs from the 60s that have those words somewhere in the lyrics. Then I erased the "oh" since I figured the "oh" would help. Found it instantly. Fuck google
