When I was a boy, my town was an ocean
And I had this notion, that I'd cross it some day
Lookin' to find, a boat I could sail on
And get far away from, where the other kids played
And then I might find my place
Somewhere that I could stay, and I'd never leave
I'd been lookin' for you
So don't you give up on me
I won't give up on you
It took me years to find
Someone to say this to
You're everything I've ever needed baby
You make me wanna believe
So don't you give up on me
Lookin' at you, I see my reflection
A deeper affection, than I've ever found
So whatever you need, though I may tire
I'll walk through the fire, I'll swim till I drown
Cause now that I've found my place
Somewhere that I can stay
I know I'll never leave, I've been lookin' for you
So don't you give up on me
I won't give up on you
It took me years to find
Someone to say this to
You're everything I've ever needed baby
You make me wanna believe
So don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
Even now, when you're, far away
And you're somewhere lost in your mind
I need you now, more than ever before
So I'll say this one more time
Don't you give up on me
I won't give up on you
It took me years to find
Someone to say this to
You're everything I've ever needed baby
You make me wanna believe
So don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
Please, don't you give up on me
