There's a heart in the middle of somewhere tonight
Screaming for reasons or just a way out
I put the shirt off my back on a wager that says
There's one every night from my old school yard days
I hear you say one [bad word] 
One [bad word] 

There's been times I've been stood in the wind and the rain
Freezing and busted and tricked out of luck

And I cursed my teachers for all of their reading
What we needed most can't be found in them books
One [bad word] 

Now they teach you to swim but they don't speak of the danger
Tell you the [bad word] but they never say why
Put you on ice that is thin and tell you it's winter
Without one [bad word] the [bad word] is a lie
One [bad word]
