Give it Up (Mitchell)  

Like a boat that's lost at sea  
Never knowing what will be  
What are you looking for?  

Any storm will pull you in  
And here we go again  
Just press replay once more  

Give it up  
There's a trap inside your head  
Give it up  
Better quit before you're dead  
Give    it    up  'cause you're running out of time  
And only you believe your mind  

Self reflection ain't your thing  
Gotta choose to be at peace  
What's all the drama for?  

And we might not agree  
But that doesn't mean  
There's no hope anymore  

Give it up  
There's a trap inside your head  
Give it up  
Better quit before you're dead  
Give    it    up  'cause you're running out of time  
And only you believe your mind  

The truth is what you see  
But that's not reality  
Why bother keeping score?  

Better watch the things you say or  
What you want will pull away  
While looking for the door  

Give it up  
There's a trap inside your head  
Give it up  
Better quit before you're dead  

Give it up  
There's a trap inside your head  
Give it up  
Better quit before you're dead
