Dave Mason - Shouldn't Have Took More than You Gave [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Pre-Chorus
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all got different ways
But the dues we've got to pay, still the same

It's time to change the script for this old play
You're reading and not feeling what you say
Coming on too strong for me to stay
Tell me what you're seeing anyway

It seems the simple things are hardest to explain
Winter's gonna come too soon and deaden all the pain
Footprints in the snow will show when things are still the same
Till you get the warmth of sun or someone to help you live again

Chorus
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all got different ways
But the dues we've got to pay, still the same

Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
