I used to sing about love
Falling in and falling out
I'd see it up above
A dream people talked about
And now I think about will
Getting out of my own way
Pushing it up a hill
Do a little every day

Live and learn and forget
Live and learn again
Live and learn and forget again
Live and learn again
Live and learn and forget
Live and learn again
Live and learn and forget again
Live and learn again

And there's a world outside
Cigarettes you never smoke
And kinds of car you never drive
Movies and actors you don't know
So put your anger away
You're in no danger of dying out
And you don't need to be right
It's overrated anyhow

Live and learn and forget
Live and learn again
Live and learn and forget again
Live and learn again
It's always what you do next
That's where the ship is steered
When your black cloud is gone to bed
Under a blanket of your tears

I want to settle my debts
But can't make right with everyone
Some wrongs are too far gone
And life is not a library
With its forgiveness of fees
And scheduled day of amnesty

It's always what you do next
There's always another track
Every age you've ever been
We carry on our backs
Live and learn and forget
Live and learn again
Live and learn and forget again
Live and learn again
