[Verse 1]
Son
What have you done?
You're caught by the river
You're coming undone
Life
You know it can't be so easy
But you can't just leave it
'cause you're not in control no more
[Chorus]
And you give it all away
Would you give it all away now?
Don't let it come apart
Don't want to see you come apart
[Verse 2]
Son
What are you doing?
You learned a hard lesson
When you stood by the water
You and I
We're so full of love and hope
But would you give it all up now?
But would you give in just to spite them all?
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Lay
I lay in the long grass
So many people
So many people pass
Stay
Stay here and lie on back
Get down in the cornfields
Stay 'till we're caught at last
[Bridge]
Give it all away
Give it all away now
Don't let it come apart
Don't want to see you come apart
[Chorus]
