lyrics

You get wise
Your heart breaks in two
You get wise
Nothing you can do

I wish that I could feel anything
Like I used to feel about
All or nothing
But the shots keep getting longer
As we get longer in the tooth
You lose it all in the waning hours of youth

You get wise
Your heart breaks in two
You get wise
Nothing you can do

There once was a world of wonder and waking dreams
Heroes flash by on silver screens
But its it's all just smoke and mirrors
Men are flawed like you and me
Our toys in the attic
Our names scratched on a tree

You get wise
Your heart breaks in two
You get wise
Nothing you can do

But I won't spend my life in the rear view mirror
A road lined with shadows and strangers
And the clear and present danger
Of being left behind

You get wise
Your heart breaks in two
You get wise
Nothing you can do

You get wise
Your heart breaks in two
You get wise
Nothing you can do

Nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
