Give, Get, Take Lyrics & Chords By Maxïmo Park

You give a little, you get a little,
then you take a little more. I give
a little, I get a little, but I want you
more. I feel the swell of perspiration.

You are a direct inspiration.
The hidden camera in the corner
relaying all of our behaviour. Your
trademark wink — you just do it,

I know you don’t think, but it puts
me on the brink. You could tell
me anything. I would still believe
your innocent smile. You give a
little, you get a little, then you take
a little more. I give a little, I get a
little, but I want you more.

I feel the swell of apprehension
whenever there’s a subtle
tension, but I’d forgive you almost
anything — you are a direct inspiration.
We wend our way through
the longest part of the day, the
part where it starts to fray. You
could tell me anything. I would still
believe your innocent smile. You
give a little, you get a little, then
you take a little more. I give a little,
I get a little, but I want you more.

There are things that I’d like to
do. I’d like to do them all with you.
There are places you want to see
so come discover them with me.
I feel relief when I’m with you.

Every night I lie with you feels like
the tide is turning, too. Where do
we go from here?
