Never wanted you to look so
But I got mileage on my side
And your legs won't catch no ride
And the swimming suicides
Why not just give in this time?
And these folks across the street
Dissect the nights they heard us weep
To keep their gossip on the cheap
Why not just give in this time?
Why not just give in this time?
I never wanted you to become
I never wanted you to lose
But I got nowhere left to hide
And your friends all wonder why
Or where it lies to take your side
Why not just give in this time
Take that long walk into town
Put your brains back in your crown
Why not just give in this time
Why not just give in this time?
Never wanted you to tell me I was crazy
Never wanted you to tell me I was wrong
But these memories of mine
are like a nightlight in my mind
For the sleep I leave behind
What I've just given is time
And I know you're still sore
Bryant pans and the kitchen door
Take it on the chin once more
What I've just given is time
What I've just given is time
What I've just given is time
