about

The second single released from the album Sand

lyrics

Well you’re feeling strong
You think this world
Won’t break you up
This world won’t make you hurt

You think you’re inspired
When luck is on your side
When trouble comes you hide

And you think you’ve something to say
But it’s time to shut your mouth
And you think you’ve got the answer
But you’re still finding out
Think that love’s gonna make you happy
But it only makes you ache
It’s an education
Learning by mistakes
Learning by mistakes

Oh you’re a real live wire
You’re gonna set this old world on fire
And I know you’re a slave
To your desire
You want to stand and fight
You think you’re so strong you must be right
But you cry like a baby
When you turn out the light

And you think you’ve something to say
But it’s time to shut your mouth
And you think you’ve got the answer
But you’re still finding out
Think that love’s gonna make you happy
But it only makes you ache
It’s an education
Learning by mistakes
Learning by mistakes
Learning by mistakes
Learning by mistakes

And you think you’ve something to say
But it’s time to shut your mouth
And you think you’ve got the answer
But you’re still finding out
Think that love’s gonna make you happy
But it only makes you ache
It’s an education
Learning by mistakes
Learning by mistakes
