Most of All - Brandi Carlile

I haven’t seen my father in some time

But his face is always staring back at me

His heavy hands hang at the ends of my arms

And my colors change like the sea

But I don’t worry much about time lost

I’m not gunning for the dreams I couldn’t find

'Cause he taught me how to walk the best that I can

On the road I’ve left behind

But most of all

He taught me to forgive

How to keep a cool head

How to love the one you’re with

And when I’m far into the distance

And the pushing comes to shove

To remember what comes back

When you give away your love

Give away your love

When you give your love away

Give away your love

I haven’t heard my mother’s voice in a while

But her words are always falling out my mouth

My mind and spirit are at odds sometimes

And they fight like the north and the south

But I still care enough to bear the weight

Of the heaviness to which my heart is tethered

She taught me how to be strong and say goodbye

And that love is forever

But most of all

She taught me how to fight

How to move across the line

Between the wrong and the right

And when I’m turned out in the darkness

And the pushing comes to shove

To remember what comes back

When you give away your love

Give away your love

When you give your love away

Give away your love

Give your love away

Oh, give your love away

And remember what comes back to you

Give your love away

Oh, give your love away

And remember what comes back to you

I haven’t seen my father in some time

But his face is always staring back at me

His heavy hands swing at the ends of my arms

And my colors change like the sea
