[Verse 1]
Where are you off to with that head of yours
Is there somewhere you should be
Was it something that I said the time I held you down
And told you it's not you it's only me
Maybe

[Chorus]
Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
You'll see

[Verse 2]
What you up to now your mirror's gone
Is there someone you should be
Did you think I was just fooling 'round with you

[Hook]
But honestly
But honestly
But honestly

[Chorus]
Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
(Give me back my peace and quiet)
Nowhere to hide from me
You'll see

[Verse 3]
And tonight I thank the stars
As I count my lucky scars
For everything you've given me
And all the wants I gave to you
Something borrowed, something blue
If you want them back
I'll give it to you

[Bridge]
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you

[Outro]
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
