"Learning While I Lose" lyrics
"Learning While I Lose"
I've been trying, I've been true
But I don't always know what to do
Since it's raining from afar
Didn't see it coming at all
Yesterday's another day
I wish it'd gone another way
Now today I'm trying to see
Just what's ahead for me
I've been around a while
Bungling through the streets
Always I'm hoping for good news
This time it ain't my time, but that's okay
I'm learning while I lose
Took the cheats, didn't work
Now I look like a stupid jerk
Hold your sights while you ask
Watch my heart break in half
Does my jacket and my shoes
Stealing up amd shuffling through
Go to sleep a broken man
Wake up and understand
I've been around a while
Hearing them all laugh
The people I'm glad I could amuse
This time won't be my time, but I'll be alright
I'm learning while I lose
Play to win or don't play at all
Take the game and don't bring the ball
But I don't care what you say
I just wanna play
I've been around a while
Bungling through the streets
And how easily I bruise
This time is not my time but that's just fine
I'm learning while I lose

Midlake - "Bethel Woods" I could get rid of it all
For the sake of the bethel woods
To a time and a place
Where peacefulness once stood
Gather the women and children
Leave our homes and our buildings
I've been ready for...
Baxter Dury - "D.O.A." Drag me up and watch me go
It's never like I'm on the road
For long, I'm in love with no one
Okay, okay, okay, I understand
Gold lapels, pearls of shame
I'm streaming, I'm slipping away
We broke...
Broken Social Scene - "Do The 95" You've got timing, you've got balls, you've got flares
You've got workman's comp, it's coming in this year
Oh, how'd you do it?
How'd you kill the lucky ones?
Oh, how'd you do it?
How'd you get them...
The War On Drugs - "I Don't Live Here Anymore" I was lying in my bed
A creature void of form
Been so afraid of everything
I need a chance to be reborn
I never wanted anything
That someone had to give
I don't live here anymore
I went a long way...
Matt Berninger - "I'm Waiting For The Man" I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you...
