"Don't Give Up Now" lyrics

As if it were subversive or dangerous
In lopsided spray-painted letters
On the concrete support of the train truss
Last night, somebody wrote
Don't give up now

Don't give up now
And it hit me like a truck, you know
Oh, don't give up now
Don't give up

God, how I wish that the sweet earnestness of a vandal's prayer
Could offer a moment's relief
'Cause you're hurting worse than a person deserves
And it's almost too much to bear
That you can't share the burden with me

'Cause in a blink, this'll all be no more than a dream lost to daylight
A little hint of a hue, a blue note in the dim glow of hindsight
So let it wash, wash over you
So let it wash, wash, and be through
But don't give up now

Don't give up now
Don't give up now
Don't give up now
It'll all be past before you know
So don't give up now
Don't give up
