Give It Away

After all this time
Trapped here like a ship on dry land
Same old line, no refrain
Oh, I, oh, I can tell by now
Maybe you've been feeling the same
Maybe we've run out of things to say
Long lost time
Words we should have spoken way back
We knew the time went away
For all I know it may not be too late to say
I'll be right here if you need me
Just when you call
Then maybe we won't have to explain

All this love that we just hold onto
As it gets harder to come by each day
We both know the only way
Take this love
You've got to learn to give it away, oh, yeah

You spend your life
Searching something precious to hold
Sleepless nights lyin' in wait
And then you wake one morning
And wonder why we hesitate
To open our hearts and give what it takes
To bring peace
Trust and understanding in this world
In the future if we wait
But until that moment
Please let me be the first to say
Well, I'll be right here when you need me
Just say you'll call
And I'll come running back to you

All this love we just hold onto
As it gets harder to come by each day
We both know the only way
Take this love
You've got to learn to give it away

So I can hold my heart and pray
Each and every moment we get
We give it back in some way
'Cause we both know the only way
To give love
You've got to learn to give it away

(Oh, yeah)
All this love we just hold onto
As it gets harder to come by each day
We both know the only way
Take this love
You've got to learn to give it away

So I can hold my heart and pray
Each and every moment we get
We give it back in some way
We both know, both know the only way
To give love, gotta give it
You've got to learn to give it away...

All this love we just hold onto
As it gets harder to come by each day
Take this love
You've got to learn to give it away

So I can hold my heart and pray
Each and every moment we get
We give it back in some way
We both know the only way
To give love
You've got to learn to give it away
