lyrics

Forget it
That's what was said when I realized
That I don't have a clue what I'm doing here
And the sad fact of the matter is that
I don't care. No, I don't care.

Birds sing in the branches of that old dead tree
Telling me not to confuse being away
With being free
Because what's out there
May not be what I really need

Give up, Give in, Come clean, Pristine, Start new
Give up, Give in, Come clean, Pristine

Give up
Just give up
Just give up
JUST GIVE UP

Search the ground
Breathe the sky
The infinite loops
Of the infinite why

Always seem to bring us back to this place
Where I blew out my voice and you laughed
You laughed in my face

So when the sky turns grey
And the water runs black
Just remember that it hasn't always been this way
And there's a chance we could get that back
We could that back.

Give up, Give in, Come clean, Pristine, Start new
Give up, Give in, Come clean, Pristine

Start new
Start new
Start new.
