Lyrics

On a bench with a cigarette
Sunday clothes and some old regrets
I can't go back inside, not yet
I watched that boy give his life away
To a girl in white with a heart of clay
She won't always want what she wants today

And I know how this goes

I recognize the untamed eyes
She'll outgrow the simple life
He can't be taught, he can't be told
He'll have to find out on his own
I know how it is to try to give
Enough to make somebody change
Cuz I made the same mistake

Not long after the honeymoon
Plans he has will start falling through
And she'll spend most of her time in her room
Nights get long and the words get short
He'll think less and drink a little more
And the TV and the couch keep him warm

And slowly hope will die

I recognize the untamed eyes
She'll outgrow the simple life
He can't be taught, he can't be told
He'll have to find out on his own
I know how it is to try to give
Enough to make somebody change
Cuz I made the same mistake

He's blind like I was
But like father like son

I recognize the untamed eyes
She'll outgrow the simple life
He can't be taught, he can't be told
He'll have to find out on his own
I know how it is to try to give
Enough to make somebody change
Cuz I made the same mistake
