Don't Take The Money

By Bleachers

Taken from the second studio album "Gone Now"​

Track nhạc thứ 4 "Don't Take The Money" thuộc thể loại Pop và Synthpop về việc yêu và không muốn tiền bạc hay vật chất cản trở tình yêu. Người kể chuyện – Jack Antonoff – kể về một mối quan hệ thất bại trong quá khứ, và cách anh ấy đã thay đổi và giờ đây muốn tìm kiếm điều gì đó thực sự và vị tha với tình yêu mới của mình. Anh ấy bày tỏ cách anh ấy sẽ chung thủy và cách anh ấy chỉ muốn nắm tay cô ấy trong tay mình, chứ không phải những thứ vật chất. Phần điệp khúc truyền tải thông điệp từ chối tiền bạc và trân trọng tình yêu mà anh ấy đã tìm thấy. Bài hát nói về ý tưởng yêu một người vì con người họ chứ không phải những gì họ có thể cho đi.

Lời bài hát (English)​

Somebody broke me once

Love was a currency

A shimmering balance act

I think that I laughed at that

And I saw your face and hands

Colored in sun and then

I think I understand

Will I understand?

Will we fight, stay up late?

In my dreams, I'm to blame

Different sides of the bed

Roll your eyes, shave my head

Now we're stuck in the storm

We were born to ignore

And all I got is a chance to just say

( "Baby, love me! You've got me, runaway!")

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Don't take the money

I slept on my own those nights

Was still in my parents' house

And I cut off my t-shirt sleeves

And claim a new continent

"Til I saw your face and hands

Covered in sun and then

I think I understand

Will I understand?

Will we fight, stay up late?

In my dreams, I" m to blame

Different sides of the bed

Roll your eyes, shake my head

Now we're stuck in the storm

We were born to ignore

And all I got is a chance to just say

( "Baby, love me! You've got me, runaway!")

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Don't take the money

( "Baby, love me! You've got me, runaway!")

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Don't take the money

( "Baby, love me! You've got me, runaway!")

When you're looking at your shadow

Standing on the edge of yourself

Praying on the darkness

Just don't take the money

Dreaming of an easy

Waking up without weight now

And you're looking at the heartless

Just don't take the money

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Well, don't take the money

( "Baby, love me! You've got me, runaway!")

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Don't take the money

Just don't take the money

Just don't take the money

Just don't take the money

Just don't take the money
