they blew out all the windows, caked the walls with mud
& everybody knows when it hits in the south
that is a land that we will learn to live without
that is a house that we have learned to live without
 [bad [bad word] in pieces with no pictures to recall
when you cant find a light to break or bright the shadows on the wall
everytime that we declare this is it, im giving up [bad word] a push, [bad word] a push, [bad word] a push
& we dont sit down what we do is get back up

it was an idea that we had & a bad idea at that
i wanna be loved by you, i sure do

lets learn to be alone together, lets cry our [bad word] eyes out cuz we know no one will care for us
lets go home alone together, lets [bad word] & lets expect it when we dont feel any better

& i cant tell when youre gonna figure out
that any line you use tonight will work
because were both as [bad word] broken as we look
