LEARN LYRICS

As you sit there now, your hair almost white
The wrinkles on your hands
So kind and gentle, who would have ever thought that
You've changed so much
I didn't become what you wanted, but Dad, listen
I do the things I do with my eyes closed
You had a lot of plans, but little came of it
I don't perform
I didn't learn much, I just did everything wrong
Have trouble with relationships
I don't fall in line, I break and fight my way free
And do the things I do with my eyes closed
Button your coat and put on a tie
Wash your hands first
Comb your hair straight over your shoulders
Think about your teeth
Don't linger straight towards home
Speak in two words
Imagine eating properly and saying you, you, you
I stand here and I sing, I just do my thing
You have to accept that
Oh, listen, dad, it's not too late
Because you can learn to live
I don't know where I stand, I'm not following anyone
But do the things I do with my eyes closed
Button your coat and put on a tie
Wash your hands first
Comb your hair straight over your shoulders
Think about your teeth
Don't linger straight towards home
Speak in two words
Imagine eating properly and saying you, you, you
