[Verse 1]

Burn an escape route out of me

Make it so big that, that we both fall out

Find the fire exit baby

Cause that smoke will kill you

If we don't stay down

[Chorus]

And I wanna give you up

As much as I can--give you up

I try, I plan to return to us

That's hard when you don't ever keep receipts

Yeah, that's hard when you don't ever find relief

In giving up

[Verse 2]

Don't even know whats good for me

But you always figure

I hope you know that--

You're the only place that I can breathe

You sweet the bitter

You help the night pass

[Chorus]

And I wanna give you up

As much as I can--give you up

I try, I plan to return to us

That's hard when you don't ever keep receipts

Yeah, that's hard when you don't ever find release

In giving up
