Gave It Away Lyrics - Singles - Kris Delmhorst

You live in your prison, the one that you choose 

You'd do anything to have nothing to lose 

And you got scared of escaping just a little too soon 

You give up your shovel and dig with a spoon 

You gave it away, gave it away 

Oh no, now you're out in the cold 

With your rockabye body, your butterfly soul 

Oh no, don't you grow old 

You're just finding your way 

With the current behind you and a clear summer sky 

You call yourself stranded, a boat by your side 

And your fistful of wishes and your handful of hopes 

You stash them away in the pit of your throat 

You save them away, save them away 

Oh no, now it's taking its toll 

On your rockabye body your butterfly soul 

Oh no, don't you grow old 

You're just finding your way, finding it 

And I got a dream for you 

Sometime that you'll admit to the tide 

You'll push out in the ocean 

And go for a ride 

You're sailing away, sailing away 

Oh no, don't you let go 

Of your rockabye body, your lullaby soul 

Oh no, don't you grow old 

You just find your way, find your way, find your way 

Back to me, back to me
