Got to Give

In photographs I look so old And the faces around me Tell different stories They want different things Than they did at seventeen Stuck between the longing Early evenings, late night dreams Desperately searching to feel something There's no problems when you're young I need what you've got to give So give it in spades You're a shining light when the world's a palette of grey I need what you've got to give So give it in spades You're a shining light and I've always felt that way The slow, loud creak over hardwood floor We'd argue about who loves each other more And how we'd never be afraid To know about where this goes To feel about where this leads Give me a reason to feel something There's no problems when you're young And I can taste tomorrow on my tongue I need what you've got to give So give it in spades You're a shining light when the world's a palette of grey I need what you've got to give So give it in spades You're a shining light and I've always felt that way Shine on me, I need what you've got to give me
