You got a lot to learn   You play in the fires, you might get burned   You gotta sacrifice   You're playin' the victim of your own device   You try to understand   The comb in the ashes isn't what you planned   You, it gets you every time   You're chasin' the visions, they're nowhere to find      Learn how to give, learn how to take   Learn how to live before it's too late      You got the restless eyes   They turn to distraction, there's no compromise   You gotta take some time   And fight for the answers, they're hard to find   Don't let it get you down   The best of intentions can turn around   You, now don'tcha fantasize   Start makin' your chances materialize      Learn how to bend, learn how to break   Learn how to mend broken heartaches   Learn to forgive, learn how to wait   Learn how to live before it's too late      Run from the light, and you lock all your doors   It's harder to fight when you've gone down before   The scenes are so right, but they play out so wrong   So into the night it goes on and on and on and on
