If you're leavin' just let me know
Tobacco and peppermint, dustin' for finger prints
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
But I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud
When they decide to try to take on the throne, for the crown

As we learn, as we age, we've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And we take 'cos they give, though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve

When it got cold outside, we smoked beneath the playground lights
If you're comin' home, just let me know
Suckin' on your Breathmints, dissected and stuck with pins
A film in her eyes from the glow

Concrete and water, she's lookin' 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 pieces, on the cutting room floor

As we learn, as we age, we've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And we take, 'cos they give, though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve

As we learn, as we age, we've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And we take, 'cos 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 a picture from the plane
'Cos it's a long way to the floor

Cut your finger on the edge
'Cos it's sharper than they told you
Take a leap from out the window
'Cos it's way too far to go through the door

As we learn, as we age, we've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And we take, 'cos they give, though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve
