THE CARDIGANS LYRICS - Live And Learn

"Live And Learn"



I came home in the morning

And everything was gone

Oh what have I done

I dropped dead in the hallway

Cursing the dawn

Oh come on sun

Why must I burn

I’m just trying to learn



I stared into the light

To kill some of my pain

It was all in vain

Cause no senses remain

But an ache in my body

And regret on my mind

But I’ll be fine



Cause I live and I learn

Yes I live and I learn

If you live you will learn

I live and I learn



Got kicked in the head

So I started a fight

Cause I knew I was right

But I learned I was wrong

I remember a slaughter

I remember I fought

For the money I brought

I got blistered and burned

And lost what I earned



But I live and I learn

Yes I live and I learn



I got, I got it now

She’s got, She’s got it now



I came to one a corner

With some help from a man and goddamn

I don’t seem to have learned

That a lady in need is guilty indeed

So I paid and got laid in return

And I don’t know what I’ve learned



Well you get what you give

And hell yes I lived

But if you live as you learn

I don’t think I’d be learned

Oh with the sun in my eyes

Surprise, I’m living a life

But I don’t seem to learn

No I don’t think I can learn
