You Learn

231 Views 9 Comments

The one thing that I continually learn is the fact that I will never ever stop learning.  An eternal life cycle that only gets more intense each rung of the ladder I climb.  This is one of my favourite Alanis songs, it speaks an amazing truth perhaps it is the same for you…

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

Chorus:
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly, certainly, certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at anytime
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

Repeat Chorus

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you’re gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

Repeat Chorus

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

    Hey huns, glad you enjoyed the song! Sorry yers I think I got all my words mixed up – I was trying to distract you from the fact that I couldn’t do it by bringing up the idea that Amber must!

    Funny how we learn and learn everyday and learn some more, but when you think: what do we know?

    True, so true. We learn and learn but most of the times we don’t even know it 😀
