Throw It Away Lyrics

I think about the life I live
A figure made of clay
I think about the things I lost
The things I gave away

And when I'm in a certain mood
I search the halls and look
One night I found these magic words
In a magic book

Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hands wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you

There's a hand to rock the cradle
There's a hand to help us stand
With a gentle kind of motion
As it moves across this land

And to hands unclenched and open
Gifts of life and love it brings
So keep your hands wide open
If you're needing anything

Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hands wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you

Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hands wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you

No, you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you

Look for Me Baby

I think about the life I live
A figure made of clay
I think about the things I lost
The things I gave away

And when I'm in a certain mood
I search the halls and look
One night I found these magic words
In a magic book

Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hands wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you

There's a hand to rock the cradle
There's a hand to help us stand
With a gentle kind of motion
As it moves across this land

And to hands unclenched and open
Gifts of life and love it brings
So keep your hands wide open
If you're needing anything

Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hands wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you

Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hands wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you

No, you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a great cover of Abbey Lincoln, and i love the minor changes that Fiction did to the song.
