The Driver Era Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can′t stop in the morning
Gonna wake all the others up
Touch me in the morning
As we wait for the sun to come up

We in the bad things
'Cause good things end sadly
And we live fast so we don′t die slow
We both know these feelings
They won't last forever
But I'll surrender everything

I′ll give you what you want (Give you what you want)
If you give me what I need (Give me what I need)
I′ll give you what you want (Give you what you want)
If you give me what I need
I'll surrender everything
It′s what I need
Everything, yeah

The clothes on your body
Got no use for them anymore
You shine like a diamond
Even with the lights low
No one's ever told you before

We in the bad things
′Cause good things end sadly
And we live fast so we don't die slow
We both know these feelings
They won′t last forever
But I'll surrender everything

I'll give you what you want (Give you what you want)
If you give me what I need (Give me what I need)
I′ll give you what you want (Give you what you want)
If you give me what I need
I′ll surrender everything
It's what I need
Everything
It′s what I need
Give me what I need

Can't stop
Touch me

We in the bad things
′Cause good things end sadly
We live fast so we don't die slow
We both know these feelings
They won′t last forever
But I'll surrender everything

I'll give you what you want (Give you what you want)
If you give me what I need (Give me what I need)
I′ll give you what you want (Give you what you want)
If you give me what I need
I′ll surrender everything
Give you what you want (Give you what you want)
If you give me what I need (Give me what I need)
I'll give you what you want (Give you what you want)
If you give me what I need
I′ll surrender everything
It's what I need
Everything




It′s what I need
Give me what I need

Overall Meaning

The Driver Era's "giveuwhatuwant" is a song that touches upon the theme of the fleeting nature of happiness and the lengths we go to obtain it. The song begins with the singer's inability to stop in the morning and his desire to wake everyone up. He longs for the touch of his lover in the morning, as they wait for the sun to come up together. The lyrics suggest that they both indulge in "bad things" because good things end sadly. They live fast, so they don't die slow. They are aware that the feelings they share cannot last forever, but the singer is willing to surrender everything to keep that fleeting moment of happiness.


The second half of the song is more intense as the singer's desire for his lover is all-consuming. He is willing to give them what they want if they give him what he needs, and he is willing to give away everything to keep the flame burning. The clothes on his lover's body have no use anymore, and they shine like a diamond even with the lights low. It's a metaphor for how bright their happiness is, even in the darkest of times. The song ends with the chorus repeating, emphasizing the singer's willingness to give away everything to keep the moment alive.
