Lyrics

[Verse 1] Maybe I'll pretend Maybe I won't I'm already fixing For a little dope I want things to work out Just as they always have Work out 'Cause it's all I have [Chorus] So give me a reason I know you always do But I need a better explanation I know it's not right to wash over me Don't go take my violin I need to stay awake To stop the violence in your brain [Verse 2] Maybe I'll tell you Maybe I'll lie Things I feel right now (Things I feel right now) I'll feel 'til I die (I'll feel 'til I die) I want you to notice (I want you to notice) When I need you to But how could you notice (How could you notice) What I keep from you? [Chorus] So give me a reason I know you always do But I need a better explanation 'Cause I know it's not fair To you or to me Don't go take my violin I need to stay awake To stop the violence in your brain [Verse 3] Let me live the memories in your head Put me in a scene that I could not forget If you wish to wake before your dream is dead Let me go With each of your breaths And become like lightning on the hill Or a TV lighting up a motel Do as you will And I will do so as well (Ahh) [Bridge] So give me a reason [Outro] So give me a reason (Reason)
