Lyrics Maximo Park – Give, Get, Take
Text:
You give a little, you get a little,
then you take a little more. I give
a little, I get a little, but I want you
more. I feel the swell of perspiration.
You are a direct inspiration.
The hidden camera in the corner
relaying all of our behaviour. Your
trademark wink — you just do it,
I know you don’t think, but it puts
me on the brink. You could tell
me anything. I would still believe
your innocent smile. You give a
little, you get a little, then you take
a little more. I give a little, I get a
little, but I want you more.
I feel the swell of apprehension
whenever there’s a subtle
tension, but I’d forgive you almost
anything — you are a direct inspiration.
We wend our way through
the longest part of the day, the
part where it starts to fray. You
could tell me anything. I would still
believe your innocent smile. You
give a little, you get a little, then
you take a little more. I give a little,
I get a little, but I want you more.
There are things that I’d like to
do. I’d like to do them all with you.
There are places you want to see
I feel relief when I’m with you.
Every night I lie with you feels like
the tide is turning, too. Where do
we go from here?
