I'm down in the dumps now,
As the tear on your cheek shows,
And I'm starting to think that there's something-
-that's making me somebody I don't know,
Oh what can I do?... is it wrong?
To take back the things that we didn't choose to do?

'Cause I know, if we went back to the start,
Before it came apart and it all got so damn cynical,
And it was all just so damn easy,
Why is it so hard?
For us to choose to be how we used be,
Because where we are,
... it ain't where we wanna be.

And I know that I should just give it away,
Gotta take all of that shit and just give it away,
'Cause if know if I don't give it away,
It's gonna catch up with me,... anyway.

So you can take my ignorance and you can,
Take my pride,
You can go bury 'em in a box where the sun don't shine,

And you can take that jealousy,
I really don't think it ever suited me,

And I'm starting to see that if I can be free from these-
-things I don't wanna own,
Then we can be home,... we can be home.

'Cause I know, if we went back to the start,
Before it came apart and it all got so damn cynical,
And it was all just so damn easy,
Why is it so hard?
For us to choose to be how we used be,
Because where we are,
... it ain't where we wanna be.

And I know that I should just give it away,
Gotta take all of that shit and just give it away,
'Cause if know if I don't give it away,
It'll all get on top of me,... one day.

[ break ]

Well I could be wrong,
But I don't wanna think that way,
'Cause love isn't money,
You can't spend it all in a day.

So if I take these things and I wrap 'em up in a song,
And give them all to you,... would that be wrong?

'Cause I know, if we went back to the start,
Before it came apart and it all got so damn cynical,
And it was all just so damn easy,
Why is it so hard?
For us to choose to be how we used be,
Because here we are,
... it ain't where we ought to be.

And I know that I should just give it away,
Gotta take all of that shit and just give it away,
'Cause you know if we don't give it away...
