Learning How to Smile - Everclear

Five miles outside of Vegas when

we broke down

Threw my keys inside the window

and we never looked back

We got all drunk and sloppy on a

Greyhound bus

We passed out

All them losers

They were laughing at us

I will never let them break your heart

No I will never let them break me

We got lost in Phoenix

seemed like such a long time

Seven months of living sweaty

On those thin white lines

did some time

for selling acid to the wrong guy

Life just keeps on getting smaller

And we never ask why

Why there is no perfect place

Yes I know this is true

I'm just learning how to smile

And that's not easy to do

I know there will come a day

When we can leave

And just go running away

(ooh yeah)

we were broke outside of Philly

when the storms came

I was working in New Jersey

Hitching rides in the rain

You was happy talking dirty

at that phone sex place

Life just keeps on getting

weirder for us every day

You say there is no perfect place

I say I know this is true

We are just learning how to smile

And that's not easy to do

We both live for the day

When we can

Run away

Ah baby we can leave

And run away

We can leave this place

And run away

We can leave it all behind

Just like we do everytime

Yes we both live for the day

When we can leave

And just go running away

No I will never let it break

your heart

No I will never let it break me

Five miles outside of Vegas

Five years down the line

We got married in the desert

In the sunshine

I can handle all the hell

That happens everyday

When you smile and touch my face

You make it all just go away

Yes I know there ain't no

finish line

I know this never ends

We are just learning how to fall

And climb back up again

I know theres nothing perfect

I know theres nothing new

We are just learning

how to live together

me and you

You know I live for the day

When you say,

"Baby let's just run away"

Ah baby we can leave

And run away

Yes we can leave this place

And run away
