You Can’t Give Me Songtext
von The Joy Formidable

I′m really not alone
I'm not the kind of girl that does forlorn
No place I wanna be
No one I wanna see
Everything good will always change its way
Oh, I′m better on my own

If I dig up buried thoughts
Can I make that song play again?
If you see that I'm outside
That won't make me come in
I could make you feel so very loved
Oh, I can make you feel so far away

You can′t give me what you′re feeling
Oh, you can't give me what you′re feeling
We can hide away in dreams
But it'll end the same with me
Oh, I know


This town keeps moving
But my mind′s like a clear night
Just think about you, the choices in my hand
There's a shadow passing over our clock
There′s so much of you that I've already lost

You can't give me what you′re feeling
(You can′t give me)
Oh, you can't give me what you′re feeling
(You can't give me)
We can hide away in dreams
But it′ll end the same, you'll see
Oh, I know

We go forward, pay the past
Do you think people fade things fast?
Ooh, let it go

Oh, you can′t give me what you're feeling
(You're feeling, can′t feel)

We can hide away in dreams
But it′ll end the same, you'll see
Oh, I know
It was our hands that cut the stem
Have we learnt anything since then?
I don′t know


This here's not mine
A stranger came by
I held, I tried
No more, too near
You can talk to the crowds, I can′t wait here

These hands now cold
No gentle unfolding, unfolding
It's too old
Oh, this blink that cursed the eye
I′ve taken mine
And I know it feels strange
But now I'm letting go
