Straight No Chaser - I Won't Give Up Lyrics






When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, still looking up.

Well, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

    Thank you for the lyrics @Kristin Crumpler!

  9. T.... ....

    I literally put this on top volume while in the shower and horribly sing my lungs out.
    ...then you think no one can hear you and you walk out of the bathroom and everyone's like "sing much?"
    Forever afraid of singing infront of people.

  10. C.... Y....

    I love this recording; it's truly amazing. I wish I could a professional recording with Mike on the solo, too. I like them both.

  11. T.... ....

    I still love you. With every cell in my body...I still love you.

  12. T.... S....

    I fell in love w/SNC a few years ago....wow!  I have always loved acappella....these guys are fantastic, and this song has a tremendous message;  it reminds me of the kind of love that my late husband and I had.....just wonderful!!

  13. s.... ....

    I Love this version !! this sounds amazing no mater how many times I repeat it! :)

  14. S.... ....

    I've loved Jason mraz ever since I can remember, I grew up with his music. I've loves Straight no chaser ever since I heard them for the first time. This collab is just too perfect!

  15. N.... E....

    Jason's voice is divine here. Beautiful job, SNC!

  16. R.... N....

    Wow!  Stumbled across this song - already love the group.  THIS is the kinda love we need today in our marriages: this is love that is a choice, not just based on present feelings.  LOVE is a commitment - an unconditional love.  Something only Christ can enable.  What an encouraging song for our time!

    R.... N....

    Not to ruin your day, this is not their original song. The original artist is the person feat. Jason Mraz, song has been out for quite a while as well.

    R.... N....

    +Cory Culver aaaaaand he's an atheist now.

  17. C.... B....

    I absolutely love this song! It's so sweet and amazing! I love this version even more than the original, and I love the original! 💛SNC!!!!!!!

  18. E.... R....

    I burst into tears when I heard this, its that great! So far this is my fave. song I have heard from them and, just over all!

  19. I.... S....

    This is literally the best singing i have ever heard

  20. Y.... C....

    this is incredibly sweet :")

  21. E.... G....

    The blending of voices pleasing to the ear, and their songs was so great as I go on to listen, I love it!!!

  22. l.... V....

    My music teacher knows jerome because she visites her friend that is a music teacher in Allentown, Pa and she didnt know he would be famous

    l.... V....

    I live in Allentown PA 😮

  23. N.... J....

    are there any  instruments in their videos? 

    N.... J....

    No, it's completely acapella (only voices)

  24. R.... ....

    Went to see them in concert at New Year's in Mesa Arizona. They sang this song and it was the best they've ever sounded.

  25. T.... P....

    Just for the record: It says "featuring Jason Mraz" because the Album is Straight No Chaser, not because they wrote the song.

  26. S.... ....

    You go Mr.a-z

  27. D.... B....

    THESE HARMONIES ARE GIVING ME CHILLS GOOD GOD

  28. V.... ....

    I've been a fan of A cappella  music since I was in College, about forty years ago. The style, syntax, shifts, syncopation, smoothness and shear talent of the group inspires alliteration.

  29. W.... ....

    Just a great job SNC and thank you again Jason! :)

  30. T.... ....

    It is Jason Mraz singing people lol

    T.... ....

    Ya but the back up singing is absolutely amazing. Love accapella

    T.... ....

    It didn’t realize it until he got to the high part. I was like, wow he sounds just like him lol.

  31. m.... p....

    This is my favorite song! It's written beautiful

  32. S.... h....

    S2 S2 S2

  33. T.... J....

    It was Charlie sorry Jerome

    T.... J....

    Tucker Jarrett I wanted to see them in concert when I lived in Greenville back in April, but I had a concert of my own that was scheduled at the exact time in the same venue as their own concert. (Just in a different hall) it something I'll never quite get over I fear.

  54. F.... ....

    Great Song!! :-)
    Not many people sing in acepella any more!
    I got chills.. :-)

  55. a.... ....

    This is great but to me it just sounds like the took Jason's main vocal track off the original recording of I Won't Give Up and then Straight No Chaser sang along with it. The picture that was painted to me was that Jason recorded this WITH them.

  56. l.... ....

    It is Jason, thats why it's "feat. Jason Mraz".

  57. H.... N....

    Wow, that guy really sounds like Jason.

    H.... N....

    Hi, Neighbor! Because it is.

  58. p.... m....

    ..nice,

  59. A.... L....

    Goosebumps

  60. c.... ....

    I personally think the midsection sounds better this way than with a single person over laying his own voice. In short, this sounds fantastic!

  61. j.... ....

    come to celebrity Theater in Phoenix, AZ. I work there, drop me a message and Ill hook you up with the general manager

  62. C.... W....

    Well done gentlemen! Come further west! You'd fill some seats out this way!

  63. n.... ....

    The back up is so tight that the scoopy pitch solo sounds sloppy.
