Black Ice

It was snowing when we woke up, and we thought of staying home
Tell everyone of the edelweiss, the black ice on the road
Christmas around the corner, night cypress in bloom
Your brother being born in your grandmother's room

Can you keep a secret without telling a lie?
Can you go to bed without saying good night?
Why do it right when you can do it yourself?
And give up

When it rains, I feel like a kid in the car
The street lights and the satellites blur with the stars
I'd give you my life if you promised to want it
Or talk to balloons with your name written on 'em

Can you keep a secret without telling a lie?
Can you go to bed without saying good night?
Why do it right when you can do it yourself?
And give up, give up, give up

Trying to teleport back through the telephone
This airport lounge looks a lot like
Yawning our life away whispering: Sure
I found myself in the clothes on your floor
Now I'm spread around, tweaking out
Trying to be loved, be loved, be loved

Can you keep a secret without telling a lie? (Give up, be loved, give up, be loved)
Can you go to bed without saying good night? (Give up, be loved, give up, be loved)
Why do it right when you can do it yourself? (Give up, be loved, give up, be loved)
And give up, be loved, give up, be loved

Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
