| [00:13.960] |
The thermometer ran out of numbers |
| [00:17.020] |
When it reached fifty degrees |
| [00:19.480] |
I just lay down on the floor |
| [00:21.350] |
With a bag of frozen peas |
| [00:23.500] |
We saw plumes of smoke |
| [00:25.200] |
Rising in the distance from our balcony |
| [00:28.160] |
I poured a glass of wine |
| [00:31.250] |
Sucked the juice out of a kiwi |
| [00:34.170] |
Catherine turned on the TV |
| [00:36.230] |
They showed acres after acres |
| [00:38.090] |
Of absolutely nothing |
| [00:40.170] |
And then Stevie called and said |
| [00:42.070] |
Are you watching what I'm watching? |
| [00:44.100] |
I said I'm watching what you're watching |
| [00:46.020] |
Oh what is it I'm watching |
| [00:48.210] |
The night before I had been bored |
| [00:50.620] |
My legs had been restless |
| [00:52.650] |
It was my birthday |
| [00:54.350] |
I'd already opened up my presents |
| [00:56.440] |
At the social club I met some friends |
| [00:58.750] |
Who were friends with this girl |
| [01:00.380] |
One by one they dropped of |
| [01:02.380] |
Till it was just me and her |
| [01:04.560] |
We made out in every bar in town |
| [01:07.150] |
While the state of Victoria |
| [01:10.450] |
Burned down to the ground |
| [01:21.300] |
And the sun rose over the city |
| [01:27.060] |
The wind swept through the valley |
| [01:37.870] |
You don't get over a broken heart |
| [01:43.540] |
You just learn to carry it gracefully |
| [01:53.880] |
Edinburgh gardens offered some kind of shade |
| [01:58.210] |
I would pick up some beers and head down to the lake |
| [02:02.080] |
Watch the possums and listen to the growling banter |
| [02:05.980] |
There was one I liked especially |
| [02:08.250] |
I named her Santa sentimental |
| [02:10.220] |
I would offer a slice of apple from my hand |
| [02:14.120] |
She would sniff it, frown, and then lumber back to the trash can |
| [02:25.490] |
I was going uphill on my mountain bike |
| [02:28.630] |
When I was passed by a scooter |
| [02:29.810] |
You got a dollar or a cigarette |
| [02:31.840] |
Hey I'm talking to you poofa |
| [02:33.780] |
What I should have said was nothing |
| [02:35.700] |
What I said was get lost |
| [02:38.620] |
Next thing I'm upside-down |
| [02:41.470] |
With my bike in the ground |
| [02:43.710] |
Hitting dirt all the way home |
| [02:46.570] |
Cursing the buried ground which I was chewing on |
| [02:55.430] |
And the sun rose over the city |
| [03:06.110] |
The wind swept through the valley |
| [03:15.860] |
You don't get over a broken heart |
| [03:21.600] |
You just learn to carry it gracefully |
| [03:32.630] |
And that's what it's like |
| [03:34.110] |
When you've had your heart broken |
| [03:36.250] |
The world just shrugs it's shoulders |
| [03:38.980] |
And keeps going |
| [03:40.330] |
It just moves on in all it's sadness and glory |
| [03:44.160] |
Oh but then you're with a friend |
| [03:45.980] |
I tell them my story |
| [03:48.720] |
I saw Bunny put the book back on the shelf |
| [03:52.400] |
She says maybe it's time you take a look at yourself |
| [04:03.310] |
No one's born an asshole |
| [04:06.880] |
It takes a lot of hard work |
| [04:08.480] |
And God knows I've worked my ass off |
| [04:10.960] |
To be a jerk |
| [04:12.740] |
So many hands I've held |
| [04:14.840] |
While wondering why I felt nothing |
| [04:17.120] |
Why when I let go of that hand |
| [04:19.020] |
I always start to feel something |
| [04:21.280] |
Like a bottle smashed against my head |
| [04:24.750] |
She said I wish you would have just cheated on me instead |
| [04:38.640] |
Loving without loving |
| [04:40.050] |
Is always the worst crime |
| [04:41.690] |
I know all the signs and signals |
| [04:43.730] |
Cause now I've been on both sides |
| [04:45.750] |
The way you choose your words |
| [04:47.690] |
The limpness of your hand |
| [04:49.840] |
I almost died when you introduced me as a friend |
| [04:54.020] |
How can you call me a friend |
| [04:58.100] |
If you don't love me |
| [04:59.430] |
Then please have the dignity to tell me |
| [05:06.130] |
I never said any of that |
| [05:10.130] |
I just shook that hand and looked down at the doormat |
| [05:16.090] |
And the sun rose over the city |
| [05:20.530] |
The wind swept through the valley |
| [05:31.100] |
You don't get over a broken heart |
| [05:36.880] |
You just learn to carry it gracefully |
