Lyrics
In a Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the third floor of the hotel
There's a pregnant flamenco dancer
In the bathtub there's a razor
And she's planning a great escape
But in a way she's giving up on herself
But either way she's giving up some of herself
In the backyard there's a small boy
Playing soldiers with an army ranger
In the front room there's a mother
And to the small boy she's a total stranger
In a way she's giving up on herself
But either way she's giving up some of herself
Love is only what you give up
Life isn't what you get
Love won't always fill your cup
Life's when you start to live
Life's when you learn to give
When I leave here I'm gonna go home
To the small boy and that flamenco dancer
Leave the guitars in the spotlight
I'm gonna go home to my biggest fans
But in a way I'm giving up some of myself
But in a way isn't that what it's about?
But in a way I'm giving up some of myself
Isn't that what it's about?
Love is only what you give up
Life isn't what you get
Love won't always fill your cup
Life's when you start to
Life's when you start to live
Love is only what you give up
Life's when you learn to give
