The song is about love and relationships. It describes falling in love with someone and how that person "steals the air" from their lungs and makes them feel alive. However, the singer pleads with their love not to "take the money", suggesting the relationship is more important than financial gain or material things. Over repeating refrains, the singer expresses how their only desire is to have their love's hand forever and not to lose it or have it taken away for monetary reasons.

Don’t Take the Money

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? 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) 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 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? 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) 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 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 When you're looking for 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 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 Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Songwriters: Jack Antonoff / Ella Yelich O'connor
