Chicago might be cold,
How nice: the way you've folded everything so neatly,
We'll talk when I get back,
I wish I could retract things I said so indiscreetly.

We give, we take,
We build, we break,
We stare at the moon and we sigh,
We give, we take,
For Heaven's sake, I never wanna make you cry.

I'll see you in an hour, I'm bringing home some flowers,
I just wanna be a blessing,
And if you feel the need to give me something sweet,
That's a motive, I'm confessing.

We give, we take,
We build, we break,
We stare at the moon and we sigh,
We give, we take,
For Heaven's sake, I never wanna make you cry.

I just wanna make your sky brighter,
I just wanna make your heart lighter,
I just wanna set your world on fire.

We give, we take,
We build, we break,
We stare at the moon and we sigh,
We give, we take,
For Heaven's sake, I never wanna make you cry.

I just wanna make your sky brighter,
I just wanna make your heart lighter,
I just wanna set your world on fire.

That's a motive I'm confessing.
