Cigarettes are your medicine and your prescription needs renewing
Just as the day was brewing another cup of trouble for you

Learn to get older, learn to get over nothing s been this way since the day
Learn to get better, learn a bit faster nothing s been this way since the day
Since the day the real you went away

Drinking yourself stupid to look a bit cooler but your eyes are jaded
And you haven t felt yourself, you haven t felt yourself in months

Learn to get older, learn to get over nothing s been this way since the day
Learn to get better, learn a bit faster nothing s been this way since the day
Since the day the real you went away

Tube train hopping from pillow to pillow
Your life s a little shallow and the wind can t carry you along
You dance your ass to music, nothing s looked so faker
Stupid hip shaker, learn the sadness in your song

Come on through, I m not there to carry you through
Come on through, I m not there to carry you through

Cigarettes are your poison and whatever s fashionable this month
Has seen you through to morning to face the birds again

Learn to get older, learn to get over nothing s been this way since the day
Learn to get better, learn a bit faster nothing s been this way since the day
Since the day the real you went away

Come on through, I m not there to carry you through
Come on through, I m not there to carry you through
