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 them with a warped rationale
But I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud
When they decided to try to take on the thrown for the crown
And we learn
As we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And we 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 downpours
And everything I said about how messed up your head is
Is 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 we take
Cause they give
Though I love you
And my body it leaks like a sieve
Take a picture from off the wall
Cause you think that nothing matters
Take a picture from the plane
Cause it's a long way to the floor
Cut your finger on the edge
Because 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 we take
Cause they give
Though I love you
And my body it leaks like a sieve
