Carly Cosgrove - Really Big Shrimp lyrics
[Carly Cosgrove - Really Big Shrimp lyrics]
I didn't expect a thing
The soundtrack for too many beers
Seven songs in two years
And somehow, you’re not bored yet
Forgive my apprehension
I just wanna keep this safe
That's forty ounces of faith
And not a drop was poured yet
That's why I say
Love? Don’t give me that
'Til I can give you something back
Why would I say no
To my dream from forever ago?
You want me to get up and go?
Let me pull back the curtain
There's a couch with my name on it
In front of my face, a phone
In front of my "body", a "home"
A life where consistency is certain
That's why I say
Love? Don't give me that
'Til I can give you something back
No proof intact
Won't have me sold and I will
Fold myself in half
Before I snap and I will hold
Myself to that
Until I give you something back
I cleared the bar I set
What more could I achieve?
I know this room so well
That I'm afraid to leave
I just wanna cut my teeth
A few more times
Keep away from tempting signs
Make no friends and take no risks
So no one gets to fuck with this
Love? Don’t give me that
’Til I can give you something back
No proof intact
Won't have me sold and I will
Fold myself in half
Before I snap and I will hold
Myself to that
Until I give you something back
Love? Don’t give me that
'Til I can give you something back
No proof intact
Won't have me sold and I will
Fold myself in half
Before I snap and I will hold
Myself to that
Until I give you something back
I cherish a time
When nobody paid attention
And I sang and I played and I vented
And twenty-five people shrugged
I cherish my life
Before the sudden potential
For twenty-five minutes, I'm special
As soon as they’re over, I'm not
The soundtrack for too many beers
Seven songs in two years
And somehow, you’re not bored yet
Forgive my apprehension
I just wanna keep this safe
That's forty ounces of faith
And not a drop was poured yet
That's why I say
Love? Don’t give me that
'Til I can give you something back
Why would I say no
To my dream from forever ago?
You want me to get up and go?
Let me pull back the curtain
There's a couch with my name on it
In front of my face, a phone
In front of my "body", a "home"
A life where consistency is certain
That's why I say
Love? Don't give me that
'Til I can give you something back
No proof intact
Won't have me sold and I will
Fold myself in half
Before I snap and I will hold
Myself to that
Until I give you something back
I cleared the bar I set
What more could I achieve?
I know this room so well
That I'm afraid to leave

Love? Don’t give me that
