Laura Imbruglia - The Meaning of the Word

I see brown on the ground and assume that it's somebody's blood

When it could've easily been saffron leaves or the remnants of mud

I don't know why I always assume the worst

Blame my parents, blame the government, blame you first

Now I'm not trying to abuse you or make you pay

But you need reminding, you didn't lose me, you threw me away

And these days I'm fine but there was a time

When I was looking for a strong foundation

To hang my sad body from

To hang my sad body from

I'm glad I didn't do it

'Cause lately I've had a lot of fun

Had a lot of fun

Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word

Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word

Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word

Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word

And so I'm moving on and I'm thinking about other things

And I bet everybody's glad 'cause heartbreak can sometimes get really boring

I met a man who said more than a handful is a waste

I feel the same way about talented people with bad taste

If I could solve the problems of the world with a child's mind

Momma Cass would give the sandwich back to Karen and they'd both survive

But there's deeper roots

I wish it were true

How high do you climb 'til you find a nice view

To throw yourself off into

To throw yourself off into

The hill's too high

The sun's too bright

The sky's too blue

Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word

Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word

Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word

Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word

(Of the word, of the word)

I'm trying to be more like the sea

Take the money and run
