Live Learn and Forget - Nada Surf

I used to sing about love

Falling in or falling out

I see it up above

A dream people talked about

And now I think about will

Getting out of my own way

Pushing it up a hill

Do a little every day

Live and learn and forget

Live and learn again

Live and learn and forget again

Live and learn again

Live and learn and forget

Live and learn again

Live and learn and forget again

Live and learn again

But there’s a world outside

Cigarettes you never smoke

And kinds of car you never drive

Movies and actors you don’t know

So put your anger away

You’re in no danger of dying out

And you don’t need to be right

It’s overrated anyhow

Live and learn and forget

Live and learn again

Live and learn and forget again

Live and learn again

It’s always what you do next

That’s where the ship is steered

When your black cloud has gone to bed

Under a blanket of your tears

I wanna settle my debts

But can’t make right with everyone

Some wrongs are too far gone

And life is not a library

With its forgiveness of fees

The scheduled day of amnesty

It’s always what you do next

There’s always another track

Every age we’ve ever been

We carry on our backs

Live and learn and forget

Live and learn again

Live and learn and forget again

Live and learn again
