Learning How to Smile

Learning How to Smile - Everclear Lyrics

Five miles outside of Vegas when
we broke down
Threw my keys inside the window
and we never looked backWe got all drunk and sloppy on a
Greyhound bus
We passed out
All them losers
They were laughing at usI will never let them break your heart
No I will never let them break meWe got lost in Phoenix
seemed like such a long time
Seven months of living sweaty
On those thin white lines
did some time
for selling acid to the wrong guy
Life just keeps on getting smaller
And we never ask whyWhy there is no perfect place
Yes I know this is true
I'm just learning how to smile
And that's not easy to doI know there will come a day
When we can leave
And just go running away(ooh yeah)we were broke outside of Philly
when the storms came
I was working in New Jersey
Hitching rides in the rain
You was happy talking dirty
at that phone sex place
Life just keeps on getting
weirder for us every dayYou say there is no perfect place
I say I know this is true
We are just learning how to smile
And that's not easy to doWe both live for the day
When we can
Run away
Ah baby we can leave
And run away
We can leave this place
And run away
We can leave it all behind
Just like we do everytimeYes we both live for the day
When we can leave
And just go running awayNo I will never let it break
your heart
No I will never let it break meFive miles outside of Vegas
Five years down the line
We got married in the desert
In the sunshineI can handle all the hell
That happens everyday
When you smile and touch my face
You make it all just go awayYes I know there ain't no
finish line
I know this never ends
We are just learning how to fall
And climb back up againI know theres nothing perfect
I know theres nothing new
We are just learning
how to live together
me and youYou know I live for the day
When you say,
"Baby let's just run away"Ah baby we can leave
And run away
Yes we can leave this place
And run away(repeat to fade)
