Hanson - In A Way lyrics

On the third floor of the hotel

There's a pregnant flamenco dancer

In the bathtub is a razor

And she's planning her great escape

CHORUS

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 soldier with an army ranger

In the front room there's a mother

To the small boy she's a total stranger

CHORUS

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

But life's when you start 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 big escape

CHORUS

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 give

Love is only what you give up

Life's when you learn to give

Isn't that what it's about?
