what to give lyrics

Part 1

Verse 1:
Don’t listen, try to take all that I got
Demanding what I couldn’t give
Frozen smile, panic rising to the top
Pull back the earth, see how I live

Chorus:
Say, what’s your name?
Yeah, and what’s your number?
C’mon now, what’s your name?
And what’s your number?

Every time I wander in they’re askin’ me for all I got
And every time I’m wonderin’ what to give?

Say, what’s your name?
And what’s your number?
C’mon now, what’s your name?
Yeah, and what’s your number?

Verse 2:
Silver tongue and binding words are what they got
“A sacrifice you’ll never miss”
Fill in the blanks, the only way to make it stop
There ain’t no backin’ out of this

Chorus:
Say, what’s your name?
Yeah, and what’s your number?
C’mon now, what’s your name?
And what’s your number?

Every time I wander in they’re askin’ me for all I got
And every time I’m wonderin’ what to give?

Every time I wander in they’re beggin’ me for all I got
And every time I’m wonderin’ what to give?

So what’s your name?
Yeah, and what’s your number?
C’mon now, what’s your name?
And what’s your number?

Guitar solo

Part 2

Verse:
Tell me what to give?
Should I reveal my hand to you?
Or bluff my worth time and again?
If I bare my soul, give you control
Would you share it ‘round or keep it whole?
They say the truth will set you free
What about me?
