Jack Peñate - Learning Lines lyrics

When things have been said so many times You repeat back as if you're learning lines It's so easy to fall into this trap 'Cos once you get there, you can't get back As I get older I wonder what I'll do When I make my own choices and they say it's up to you 'Cos right now I'm feeling safe, it's all the same But in a few years if I'm nowhere, it's me to blame, ohh, ohh, ohh, ooh Picture frame, books and shelves, not afraid by myself Metal strings, glowing tubes, Bessie Smith sings the blues Key and lock, dirty clothes, misunderstood poets prose Dreaming with open minds, repeating back, learning lines Learning lines, learning lines, learning lines, learning lines People around seem to have their heads screwed on But dreaming's become my life, I'm finding it hard to move on It'd be so easy if I wanted to charter survey Knowing my future down to a year or a day, ohh, ohh, ohh, ooh Picture frame, books and shelves, not afraid by myself Metal strings, glowing tubes, Bessie Smith sings the blues Key and lock, dirty clothes, misunderstood poets prose Dreaming with open minds, repeating back, learning lines Learning lines, learning lines, learning lines, learning lines Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ooh Picture frame, books and shelves, not afraid by myself Metal strings, glowing tubes, Bessie Smith sings the blues Key and lock, dirty clothes, misunderstood poets prose Dreaming with open minds, repeating back, learning lines Learning lines, learning lines, learning lines
