This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I've wasted so much time believing that in this life
You tried to get all you can take.
When all along what I've been needing was to find
Just one good reason to give myself.
Really give myself away.
[Chorus]
Every smile that lights my face
Every teardrop
Every trace
Every secret hidden place
Belongs to you
Anything that's good in me
All I ever hope to be
Every drop of every dream
Belongs to you
You know the me that I remember
Always thought you had to keep it all inside
You're gettin' troubled being tender
So you never say surrender
But finding you has finally proved me wrong
[Chorus]
I'm letting go
I'm letting go now of everything
I've ever held on to
Every place I've ever been
Every chance I get again
Every secret every scent
Belongs to you
Anything that's good in me
All I ever hope to be
Every drop of every dream
Belongs to you
It all belongs to you
It all belongs to you
You tried to get all you can take.
When all along what I've been needing was to find
Just one good reason to give myself.
Really give myself away.
[Chorus]
Every smile that lights my face
Every teardrop
Every trace
Every secret hidden place
Belongs to you
Anything that's good in me
All I ever hope to be
Every drop of every dream
Belongs to you
You know the me that I remember
Always thought you had to keep it all inside
You're gettin' troubled being tender
So you never say surrender
But finding you has finally proved me wrong
[Chorus]
I'm letting go
I'm letting go now of everything
I've ever held on to
Every place I've ever been
Every chance I get again
Every secret every scent
Belongs to you
Anything that's good in me
All I ever hope to be
Every drop of every dream
Belongs to you
It all belongs to you
It all belongs to you
