Don't take the money es el primer single de Gone now (2017), un álbum de Bleachers. Una canción compuesta junto a Lorde, a la que se puede escuchar haciendo coros.
Jack Antonoff de Bleachers dice acerca de la canción: "Don't take the money es una frase que me repito todo el tiempo. No tiene nada que ver con el dinero real. La idea es la de seguir la luz. No ignores una intuición. Don't take the money. Me la repito cuando estoy haciendo el esfuerzo de seguir adelante con algo. En esta canción, hablo de mi relación, y la estrofa y el estribillo hacen un rápido recorrido por el pasado y la lucha que lleva a la euforia de ver la luz con otra persona".
Lanzamiento programado para el 4 de abril de 2017.
Con un videoclip dirigido por Lena Dunham (la pareja de Jack Antonoff), estrenado el 2 de mayo de 2017.
Letra
[Estrofa 1: Jack Antonoff]
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
Coloured in sun and then
I think I understand
Will I understand?
[Pre-Estribillo: Jack Antonoff]
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 sit
(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)
[Estribillo: Jack Antonoff]
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
[Estrofa 2: Jack Antonoff]
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?
[Pre-Estribillo: Jack Antonoff]
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 sit
(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)
[Estribillo: Jack Antonoff]
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'm in love and 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'm in love and you've got me, runaway)
[Bridge: Jack Antonoff]
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
[Estribillo: Jack Antonoff & Lorde]
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
(I'm in love and 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
[Outro: Jack Antonoff]
Just don't take the money
Just don't take the money
Just don't take the money
Just don't take the money
