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 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
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
[x2]

Take a picture from off the wall
When you think that nothing matters
Take a picture from the plane
It's a long way 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
