Various Follow

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 warned 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
Wait for 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
We're cut up and left in bits and pieces on the ground

And we learn as we age
Wait for 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
Wait for 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 (and we learn as we age)
Take the picture from the frame and it's a long ways to the floor (wait for nothing and my body still aches)
Cut your finger on the edge 'cause it's sharper than they told you (and you take 'cause they give)
Take a leap from out the window cause it's way too far to go through the door (though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve)

And we learn as we age
Wait for nothing and my body still aches
And you take 'cause they give
Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve
