Let Me Know When You Give Up - Joey Cape

I write a short song, about a long song

A vow to you, a note to everyone

A stroke of blue, uncommonly cool

Painting a coat, not meant to last long

For us both, we can do anything we want

When you give up

You’ll have to say your fine

Before I say good-bye, before I hang up

And I won’t lie to you

It does seem hopeless, I’m losing focus

As we wait for sea change

Wait for the next wave

The storm that’s coming

The storm is coming home

Let me know when you give up, all hope and light

Let me know when you’re wasted, I’m feeling alright

When you’re feeling anxious, we’ll start the climb

When our will is broken, we’ll build a new life

When your fight is finished

I know I’m more secure state of mind

Let me know when you’re stranded, I’ll rescue you

When you’ve lost position, we’ll scout for a view

Whenever you’re ready, there is a simple cure

For the cold

I know, we can be comfortable

Let’s go, what are you fighting for?

Let go

Let me know when you give up, I’ll bring the map

When you’re frozen from panic, paralytic and trapped

It’s about survival, forgetting your rivals

Let me know when you give up, after giving it all

You were there to see the sky fall

For the sun

I know, there is another road

Let go, what are we waiting for?

Let’s go
