"Learned My Lesson" lyrics

Wanna tell my mom the things I've done that keep me at arm's length
How I cheated through my classes, the toxins in my brain
Wanna warn my younger self about the fool he'll come to be
I'd tell him don't go chasing rhythms if you can't stand to move your feet

Spend a lot of time debating who I think I'm supposed to be
Cause I'm afraid of all the damage that always comes from being me
Like how I said I'd never learn when I was only seventeen
Or how I lost the only love I knew when I was twenty-three

Tired of feeling like the party's over
When everybody says it's just begun
A buck short and another day older
Guess I can't outrun the sun

Not made of money, but it's making sense
When how it goes just becomes how it went
Misdirecting my affection
Guess I haven't learned my lesson

If there's one thing that I know its that I'll let myself fall down
Everybody's counting on me to make every second count
Easygoing, apathetic, too content with loneliness
Never quite cleaned out my brain, I guess I'll thrive inside the mess

Tired of feeling like the party's over
When everybody says it's just begun
A buck short and another day older
Guess I can't outrun the sun

Not made of money, but it's making sense
When how it goes just becomes how it went
Misdirecting my affection
Guess I haven't learned my lesson

Tired of feeling like the party's over
When everybody says it's just begun
A buck short and another day older
Guess I can't outrun the sun

Not made of money, but it's making sense
When how it goes just becomes how it went
Misdirecting my affection
Guess I haven't learned my lesson
