I'll sleep like a child unsettled
Restless to the breast I nuzzle
I'd hold my breath until my face it turns blue
I'd hold out death until my time here is through

Didn't I say it was all or nothing
I'm an Island boy in the city running
I'm a six string soul who's played and gone home
Got 20,000 nights to find you now I know

'Til the river runs red
'Til you're out of my head
'Til the sky turns black
Or heaven takes you back
'Til they lay my bones down in the soil
I'm never giving up, never giving up
Never giving up, never giving up on you

I gave it all in a hurry
Another young man fell for the money
We're all so blinded by the stars in our eyes
We're all so busy making plans to survive

Didn't you say it was a long time coming
I've been left in park with my engine running
I'm a simple soul who you don't understand
Got my heart on my sleeve and the world in my hands

'Til the river runs red
'Til you're out of my head
'Til the sky turns black
Or heaven takes you back
'Til they lay my bones down in the soil
I'm never giving up, never giving up
Never giving up, never giving up on you
