You're gonna give your love to me.

You know my love a-not fade away.
A-well, you know my love a-not fade away.”

“You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
Where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.”

“When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true.
Give me a day or two
To think of something clever
To write myself a letter
To tell me what to do.”

Billie Eilish (2001) American singer-songwriter
