From the recording Give It Back, It's Mine
Give It Back, It's Mine tells the story of a performer's jealous partner, who always seems to end up squashing the artist's "post-show-glow" with one form of drama or another, prompting the refrain, "Give it back, it's mine!"
This song was co-written in Nashville by JESSA (Jessica Stuart) and Australian singer-songwriter, Liv Hally (Oh Pep!) right before the world shut down.

Give It Back, It's Mine Lyrics
At the show you're alone
Comin’ home, comin’ down hard
I was thrown, pickin’ bones
Flying high makes the fall far
If you weren't my Romeo
I wouldn't have to tell you so many times
Come up and you speak to me
You tell me it’s fine, go on
Comin’ off the stage is not the place or the time
Maybe my, my - you’re stealin’ my shine
Give it back, it’s mine
Love you though, when it snows
When it rains, when it gets hot
Don’t you know I worked for this
So incredibly hard
If you weren’t my Romeo
I wouldn’t have to tell you so many times
Come up and you speak to me
You tell me it’s fine, go on
Comin’ off the stage is not the place or the time
Maybe my, my, you’re stealin’ my shine
Give it back, it’s mine
All my love is hailing down
All my love is hailing down
If you were my Romeo
I wouldn’t have had to tell you so..
Come up and you speak to me
You tell me it’s fine, go on
Comin’ off the stage is not the place or the time
Maybe my, my, you’re stealin’ my shine
Give it back, it’s mine
