Don’t Take The Money (MTV Unplugged)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jack Antonoff] Well, somebody broke me once Love was a currency A shimmering balance act 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: Lorde & Jack Antonoff] Why 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: Jack Antonoff & Lorde] 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 We don't take the money [Verse 2: Lorde] Slept on my own those nights Still in my parents' house So I cut off my T-shirt sleeves 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: Jack Antonoff, Jack Antonoff & Lorde, Lorde] 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: Jack Antonoff & Lorde] 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 We don't take the money And 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 We don't take the money [Bridge: Jack Antonoff] 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 Singing don't take the money [Chorus: Lorde, Jack Antonoff & Lorde, Jack Antonoff] Well, you steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Well, your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money We don't take the money (Baby, loving you got me runaway) And 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 We don't take the money [Outro: Jack Antonoff] Love y'all
