| In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind
|
| If you’re leaving, just let me know
|
| Tobacco and peppermint, dusting for fingerprints
|
| A film in her eyes from the glow
|
| Some rules are made with all intentions to break
|
| And she defends it with a warped rationale
|
| And I’ve seen what happens to the wicked and proud
|
| When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown
|
| And we learn as we age
|
| We’ve learned nothing
|
| And my body still aches
|
| And you take cause they give
|
| Though I love you
|
| And my body it leaks like a sieve
|
| When it got cold outside, smoke beneath the playground lights
|
| If you’re coming home, just let me know
|
| Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with pins
|
| A film in her eyes from the glow
|
| Concrete and water, she’s looking for her daughter
|
| At midnight in torrential downpour
|
| And everything I said about how messed up your head is
|
| Got cut up and left in bits and pieces on the cutting room floor
|
| And we learn as we age
|
| We’ve learned nothing and my body still aches
|
| And you take cause they give
|
| Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve
|
| Take the picture from the wall when you think that nothing matters
|
| Take the picture from the frame and it’s a long ways to the floor
|
| Cut your finger on the edge cause it’s sharper than they told you
|
| Take a leap from out the window cause it’s way too far to go through the door
|
| And we learn as we age
|
| We’ve learned nothing and my body still aches
|
| And you take cause they give
|
| Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve |
