Give It Back

Polly Paulusma


Can I keep my head when all around me are losing theirs 
Can I keep my secrets close 
Can I hold my course in this tiny vessel steady 
Will I reach the farthest coast 
It's rolling away from me 
As far as the eye can see 
But While this journey's long it's joyful 
'Cause you are here with me 

I've been living for tomorrow 
Forgot to live today 
This sweet life is only borrowed 
Got to give it back some day 

Can I feed this beast with everything I've got and more 
Who will suffer if I don't 
Who's the puppetmaster pulling me towards the shore 
Do I want to cut the ropes 
It's rolling away from me 
As far as the eye can see 
But while this journey's long it's joyful 
'Cause you are here with me 

I've been living for tomorrow 
Forgot to live today 
This sweet life is only borrowed 
Got to give it back some day 

It's rolling away from me 
I'm sailing so fast it's hard to see the light that shines from you 
Is all I really need, it's all I need 

I've been living for tomorrow 
Forgot to live today 
This sweet life is only borrowed 
Got to give it back some day
