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 your head is
Were 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
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
And we learn as we age
(Take the picture from the wall
When you think that nothing matters)
We've learned nothing
(Take the picture from the frame)
And my body still aches
(and it's a long ways to the floor.)
And you take cause they give
(Cut your finger on the edge cause
It's sharper than they told you)
Though I love 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
