Learning To Live Again

Album: The Chase (1992)
  • I burned my hand, I cut my face
    Heaven knows how long it's been
    Since I've felt so out of place
    I'm wonderin' if I'll fit in

    Debbie and Charley said they'd be here by nine
    And Deb said she might bring a friend
    Just my luck, they're right on time
    So here I go again

    I'm gonna smile my best smile
    And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style
    Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see
    That learning to live again is killing me

    Little cafe, table for four
    But there's just conversation for three
    And I like the way she let me get the door
    And I wonder what she thinks of me

    Debbie just whispered, "You're doin' fine"
    And I wish that I felt the same
    She's asked me to dance, now her hand's in mine
    Oh, my God, I've forgotten her name

    But I'm gonna smile my best smile
    And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style
    Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see
    This learning to live again is killing me

    Now here we are beneath her porch light
    And I say what a great time it's been
    A kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight
    And I say, "can I see you again"

    And she just smiles her best smile
    And she laughs like it's going out of style
    Looks into my eyes and says, "We'll see"
    Oh this learning to live again is killing me
    God this learning to live again is killing me Writer/s: Don Schlitz, Stephanie Davis
