Verse Dozens of children playing manhunt all day to avoid doing chores Neighborhood summers we would spend at the shore Childhood crushes, so dramatic, yet pure, always swaying the score Would get me in trouble more and more Chorus I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up To watch you win the war Instrumental Verse Saturday nights we would dress up, sneak out, and go out on the town A couple of misfits without a sorrow to drown You'd tell me stories, such adventures, with a spirit no one dared to shoot down Imagination without bounds Chorus I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up To have you around Bridge College took us away Careers, marriage, some kids, a dog A picket fence, and houses fifty miles apart I thought that I'd be okay With where I am today But rules exist for everything but matters of the heart Chorus I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up I'd give it all up To hold you again Bridge To hold you close to me Again Outro
