Don’t Take the Money

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Somebody broke me once Love was a currency A shimmering balance act I think that I laughed at that Then I saw your face and hands Covered in sun and then I think I understand Well, I understand [Pre-Chorus] But we fight, stay up late In my dreams, I'm to blame Different sides of the bed Roll your eyes, shave my head Now we're stuck in the storm We were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just say (Baby, loving you got me runaway) [Chorus] You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money Don't take the money [Verse 2] I slept on my own those nights Was still in my parents' house And I cut off my T-shirt sleeves And claim a new continent 'Til I saw your face and hands Covered in sun and then I think I understand Well, I understand [Pre-Chorus] But we fight, stay up late In my dreams, I'm to blame Different sides of the bed Roll your eyes, shake my head Now we're stuck in the storm We were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just say (Baby, loving you got me runaway) [Chorus] You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money Don't take the money (Baby, loving you got me runaway) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money Don't take the money (Baby, loving you got me runaway) [Bridge] When you're looking at your shadow Standing on the edge of yourself Praying on the darkness Just don't take the money Dreaming of it easy Waking up without weight now And you're looking at the heartless Just don't take the money [Chorus] You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money Well, don't take the money (Baby, loving you got me runaway) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money Don't take the money [Outro] Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money (Don't take the money) Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money
