Learning How to Smile

Five miles outside of Vegas when we broke down

Threw my keys inside the window and we never looked back

Got all drunk and sloppy on a Greyhound bus

We passed out, all them losers they were laughing at us

I will never let them break your heart

No I will never let them break me

We got lost in Phoenix, seemed like such a long time

Seven months of livin' swimming on those thin white lines

Did some time for sellin' acid to the wrong guy

Life just keeps on gettin' smaller and we never ask why

Why there is no perfect place, yes I know this is true

I'm just learning how to smile

That's not easy to do

I know there will come a day

When we can leave and just go runnin' away

We was broke outside of Philly when the storms came

I was working in New Jersey, hitchin' rides in the rain

You was happy talkin' dirty at that phone sex place

Life just keeps on gettin' weirder for us every day

You say there is no perfect place, I say I know this is true

We are just learning how to smile

That's not easy to do

We both live for the day

When we can run away

Oh baby we can leave and run away

Yes we can leave this place and run away

We can leave it all behind like we do every time

Yes we both live for the day

When we can leave and just go runnin' away

No I will never let it break your heart

No I will never let it break me

Five miles outside of Vegas, five years down the line

We got married in the desert and the sunshine

I can't handle how the hell it happens every day

When you smile and touch my face

You make it all just go away

Yes I know there ain't no finish line, I know this never ends

But I'm just learning how to fall, climb back up again

I know there is nothing perfect, I know there is nothing new

We are just learning how to live together, me and you

You know I live for the day

When you say "Baby let's just run away"

Oh baby we can leave and run away

Yes we can leave this place and run away

Baby we can leave and run away

We can leave this place and run away
