People say we got a lot to learn, that's ok

Complicate things when you're young

The man around the corner likes to roll his dice

Just for fun he says:

Take it easy babe, he's not the only one


And all the light starts to yellow and fade

See you in the middle and all the love we made 

I'm your girl and you're my man

It's just an illusion 

This I know


Been around the block once, twice, maybe more

Never met a hungry fool I couldn't learn to adore

Hopeless smiles and crooked eyes 

Trade it in for a heart full of lies

I won't tonight


And all the light starts to yellow and fade

See you in the middle and all the love we made 

I'm your girl and you're my man

It's just an illusion 

This I know


Been around easy street

Carry a nightmare so you can take the heat

Some are lonely to fight wars

You never asked for much but you always want more

Searching for your love

Needing your love

I want relief not defeat

Some people say I've got a lot to learn

And nothing comes easy

Nothing comes in between


I'm your girl and you're my man 

I can see the whole world at your feet

People come together to build their whole lives

Nothing from nothing will give you something

Sometimes, sometimes, this illusion is all I know
