Throwing it All Away

by Real World (I think)

Well if the star could paint a picture
and the sea could tell a tale
If the hills rolls up around you
would there be enough to make you understand
that giving up will only make a lonely man

but if the sky came down to meet you
and the sea came to your door
well if the wind whispered in your ear
would that be enough to make you understand
that giving up was never in the master plan

well she loves him and he loves her too
they don't understand what love can do
it's the greatest gift of all
and the boy's gonna throw it all away

well the sky ran out of paper
and the sea can't find the words
well the wind has been distracted
left you all alone what can you do
you know you were meant for her
and she was meant for you

well if the world stopped turning circles
and the stars fell to the ground 
well if the river ran away
would you follow whereever it may lead you
if it's really enough you'll know just what to do

well he loves her and she loves him too
they don't understand what love can do
it's the greatest gift of all
and the girl's gonna throw it all away

<bridge>
and people will tell you
you've got to throw it all away
but you've got to see that there could be love so strong
you never have to find your way home.

Well he needs her
and she needs him too
they don't understand what love can do
it's the greatest gift of all
Oh, don't throw it all away

throwing it all away
throwing it all away
throwing it all away
