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 'till 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

I'm giving myself to a true love at last



You don't know where the wind's going to 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

Giving it over, giving it over

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