  • Hey boy, stop pacing 'round the room
    Using other people's faces as a mirror for you
    I know your lungs need filling
    Since your gums have lost their feeling
    But don't say you're giving it up again
    And do you have a card?
    My irregular heart beat is starting to compact itself
    He's just a simple diabetic that prevents the empathetic
    From being just and giving it up

    And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind
    Taking over my life a second time
    I don't have the capacity for fucking
    You're meant to be helping me
    When I said I liked it better without my money, I lied
    It took a little while to recognize that I
    I'm not giving it up again

    This conversation's not about reciprocation no more
    But I'm gon' wait until you finish so I can talk some more
    About me and my things, my car, my living
    And how I'm giving it up, giving it up again

    And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind
    Taking over my life a second time
    I don't have the capacity for fucking
    You're meant to be helping me
    When I said I liked it better without my money, I lied
    It took a little while to recognize
    That I, I'm not giving it up again

    Oh, the kick won't last for long
    But the song only lasts three minutes
    I think I've lost my phone so won't you call it up for me?
    The kick won't last for long
    But the song only lasts three minutes
    And I know it's wrong
    But give me one

    And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind
    Taking over my life a second time
    I don't have the capacity for fucking
    You're meant to be helping me
    When I said I liked it better without my money, I lied
    It took a little while to recognize
    That I, I'm not giving it up again

    I'm not giving it up
    I'm not giving it up
    I'm not giving it up
    I'm not giving it up
    I'm not giving it up, giving it up
    I'm not giving it up, giving it up Writer/s: Adam Brian Thomas Hann, George Bedford Daniel, Matthew Timothy Healy, Ross Stewart MacDonald
