Don’t Give Up Now Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As if it were subversive or dangerous
In lopsided spray-painted letters
On the concrete support of the train tracks
Last night somebody wrote
"Don't give up now"
[Chorus]
"Don't give up now"
And it hit me like a truck, you know
Oh, don't give up now
Don't give up
[Verse 2]
God, how I wish that the sweet earnestness of a vandal's prayer
Could offer a moment's relief
'Cause you're hurtin' worse than a person deserves
And it's almost too much to bear
That you can't share the burden with me
'Cause in a blink this'll all be no more than a dream lost to daylight
A little hint of a hue
A blue numb in the dim glow of hindsight
[Pre-Chorus]
So let it wash, wash over you
So let it wash, wash and be through
But don't give up now
[Chorus]
Don't give up now
Don't give up now
Don't give up now
It'll all be passed before you know
So don't give up now
Don't give up
