Kris Delmhorst Gave It Away Lyrics

Gave It Away Lyrics

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 lullabye 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
