In photographs I look so old
And the faces around me tell different stories
They want different things than they did at seventeen
Stuck between the longing
Early evenings, late night dreams
Desperately searching to feel something

'Cause there's no problems when you're young

I need what you've got to give
So give it in spades
You're a shining light when the world's a palette of grey
I need what you've got to give
So give it in spades
You're a shining light and I've always felt that way

The slow creak over hardwood floor
We'd argue you about who loved each other more
And how we'd never be afraid
To know about where this goes
To feel about where this leads
Give me a reason to feel something

'Cause there's no problems when you're young
And I can taste tomorrow on my tongue

I need what you've got to give
So give it in spades
You're a shining light when the world's a palette of grey
I need what you've got to give
So give it in spades
You're a shining light and I've always felt that way

Shine on me, shine on me
I need what you've got to give me
Shine on me, shine on me
I need what you've got to give me
Shine on me, shine on me
I need what you've got to give me
Shine on me, shine on me
I need what you've got to give me

I need what you've got to give
So give it in spades
You're a shining light when the world's a palette of grey
I need what you've got to give
So give it in spades
You're a shining light and I've always felt that way
