What Gives?

(album: Safety, Fun, And Learning (In That Order) - 2002)

It's an ordinary morning
And everything is as it should be (so it seems)
And there isn't any warning
I know that something is wrong but I can't quite put my finger on it

I can tell that something's missing
I can tell that everything is gonna go to hell
Though it doesn't help to listen
You're not making a sound but I'm hearing it as clear as a bell

Sounds like
Something has got to give
It sounds like
Something has got to give
Give

It's a matter of perception
It's a matter of extrapolating
It's a matter of reception
You're not saying a word, but I hear it like you're speaking aloud

It sounds like
Something has got to give
It sounds like
Something has got to give
Give

It sounds like
Something has got to give
It sounds like
Something has got to give
Give
