Newsboys - Giving It Over lyrics

rate me

I was a teen flat-liner on the joy screen

Dead in the water of life as we knew

you offered me drink,

I wanted more than a sip

But I couldn't let go of the straws

I was clinging to

Giving it over, giving it over

I was flat on my back, I'd slid 'til it hurt

Giving it over, giving it over

You put my head in the clouds

and my feet in good dirt

My head in the clouds

and my feet in good...

Dirt Devils were crowding my head

With lies they spread

They'd convinced me of

what fools know isn't true

Quick as an Outkast rhyme

you took me back in time

Back to the first love I ever knew

Giving it over, giving it over

Got my broken heart healed

and removed from its cast

Giving it over, giving it over

Yeah, I'm giving myself to

a true love at last

Giving myself to a true love at last

You don't know where

the wind's gonna blow

And since you can't take it with you

better give it away before you go

Yeah, I'm giving it over

Greed is the word, it's a verb

Wants to bind us all

Bind us together like a platinum truss

Giving it over, giving it over

I'm putting my heart into treasures

that don't rust

I'm giving it all over to a face I can trust

You don't know where

the wind's gonna blow

And since you can't take it with you

Better give it away before you go

Yeah, I'm giving it over
