Learning Lines

When things have been said so many times
You repeat back as if you're learning lines
Its so easy to fall into this trap
'Cos once you get there, you cant get back

As I get older I wonder what Ill do
When I make my own choices and they say it's up to you
'Cos right now Im feeling safe, it's all the same
But in a few years if Im nowhere, it's me to blame, ohh, ohh, ohh, ooh

Picture frame, books and shelves, not afraid by myself
Metal strings, glowing tubes, Bessie Smith sings the blues
Key and lock, dirty clothes, misunderstood poets prose
Dreaming with open minds, repeating back, learning lines
Learning lines, learning lines, learning lines, learning lines

People around seem to have their heads screwed on
But dreamings become my life, Im finding it hard to move on
Itd be so easy if I wanted to charter survey
Knowing my future down to a year or a day, ohh, ohh, ohh, ooh

Picture frame, books and shelves, not afraid by myself
Metal strings, glowing tubes, Bessie Smith sings the blues
Key and lock, dirty clothes, misunderstood poets prose
Dreaming with open minds, repeating back, learning lines
Learning lines, learning lines, learning lines, learning lines
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ooh

Picture frame, books and shelves, not afraid by myself
Metal strings, glowing tubes, Bessie Smith sings the blues
Key and lock, dirty clothes, misunderstood poets prose
Dreaming with open minds, repeating back, learning lines
Learning lines, learning lines, learning lines
