Marshall Crenshaw - Jaggedland lyrics
rate meWay back when I was youngA minute from yesterdayThey said to me 'Son be strongYou're going to be something someday'They bought me some clothes to wearThey gave me some books to readTook me to see Santa ClausOf love I was never in needBut they never said things burnOr that I would have to live and learnI'd love to go back and undoA few things that I have doneGot a handful of bitter regretsLike when I betrayed someoneWho helped me when I was downI was young and dumb at the timeBelieve me I don't feel goodWhen those days are on my mindThey're gone now, not to returnAnd we move on, trying to live and learnRaise the shade, look outsideLeave your dreams back in bedFind your shoes, walk outsideShake the clouds from your headLike the morning headlineIn the newspaper readIt's your turn, yeah, it's your turnTo live and learnSo that's enough for nowEnough talk about the pastLife's just beyond the gateWe don't have to move to fastWe don't have to pass some testWe don't have to get with the gradeYesterdays years awayThey flicker and then they fadeThey're gone now, not to returnStill we move onTrying to live and learnRaise the shade, look outsideLeave your dreams back in bedThough the forecast said sunshineIt's raining insteadLike the morning headlineIn the newspaper readIt's your turn, yeah, it's your turnTo live and learnBut they never said things burnOr that I wouldHave to live and learnFind your shoes, walk outsideShake the clouds from your headThough the forecast said rainYou've got sunshine insteadLike the morning headlineIn the newspaper readIt's your turn, yeah, it's your turnTo live and learn, live and learn, live and learn
