I used to hang out at the open mic
at a sports bar on the old west side
laughing with my friends at a table in the back
while an old man sang about love that lasts
I was so young and so foolish
what the hell did I think I was doing
wore my heart like a weapon
now I wish he could repeat the lesson
Young couple kissing by the city bus
tell me was that really ever us
now all our friends are having babies
sweet innocence in a world gone crazy
the years fly by but the days are forever
and you lose your mind just holding it together
we all start out such reasonable people
yeah we reach for love, run from evil
there's a song
your parents used to love
it meant something to them
back when you were young
it comes on the radio like a wild and lonely blessing
sometimes life is kind enough
to repeat the lesson
we love the sun but we need the rain
the flower dies but the branch remains
and the thorn on the rose like the curse of my words
come so angry when I'm hurting
and all the love I try to show you
gets stuck like glue in the back of my throat
I forget how well you know me
Babe I'm just a one trick pony"
