Give It Away (from "No Turning Back: 1985-2005" compilation)

It's 2:00 a.m. and I'm incapable again
Another face that I don't know
I need to breathe, I need to feel
But in the end I can never let it show

I believe you've heard it all before
But I'm pretty sure of one thing
You can't take it anymore
You don't realize what you've got
Until you give it away

A little bit higher, a little bit closer
We'll be stronger, we'll cross over
A little bit higher, a little bit longer
Love forever

And so if you'll just have to ask me again
If I love you, I don't know
But I know this life will pass me in the end
Fuel is dangerously low

Let's believe that towers never fall
No one ever buys a gun
No one ever builds a wall
You don't realize what you've got
Until you give it away

A little bit higher, a little bit closer
We'll be stronger, we'll cross over
A little bit higher, a little bit longer
Love forever, love grows stronger

All you ever needed was a little protection
Bouncing off the walls in a wrong direction
Pick it up and turn it 'round, moving at the speed of sound
Over, under, up is down, all I ever do is love you

Please be there when I am coming down
But don't try to catch me
I'd prefer to hit the ground
I didn't realize what I've got
Until I gave it away

A little bit higher, a little bit closer
We'll be stronger, we'll cross over
A little bit higher, a little bit longer
Love forever, love grows stronger

A little bit higher, a little bit closer
We'll stronger, we'll cross over
A little bit higher, a little bit longer
Love forever, love grows stronger
