Learning While I Lose

Lyrics by：Mark Oliver Everett

Composed by：Mark Oliver Everett/P Boo

I've been tried and I've been true

But I don't always know what to do

Senses reeling from a fall

Didn't see it coming at all

Yesterday's another day

I wish it'd gone another way

Now today I'm trying to see

Just what's ahead for me

I've been around a while

Bumbling through the streets

Always I'm hoping for good news

This time it ain't my time but that's okay

I'm learning while I lose

Took a chance it didn't work

Now I look like a stupid jerk

Hold your sides while you laugh

Watch my heart break in half

Dust my jacket and my shoes

Standing up and shuffling through

Go to sleep a broken man

Wake up and understand

I've been around a while

Hearing them all laugh

Well people I'm glad I could amuse

This time won't be my time but I'll be alright

I'm learning while I lose

Play to win or don't play at all

Take the game and don't bring your ball

But I don't care what you say

I just wanna play

I've been around a while

Bumbling through the streets

And how easily I bruise

This time is not my time but that's just fine

I'm learning while I lose
