Hard Way Learner

So I find myself here again

I have to wonder if it's ever going to end

I once knew this place by a different name

I guess I shouldn't be surprised

Had I thought I would have recognized

'Cause the faces are different

but it feels the same

So please be patient with me, baby

I'll try to make this the last time

But I'm a hard way learner

I keep my finger to the burner

And I need my time to get it right

I'm a hard way learner

For a while everything is fine

Like I've left it all for behind

But there's a rip in the cloth

where the past crawls through

And it comes in a new disguise

To try to look me right in the eyes

And ask again what are you going to do

So please be patient with me, baby

I'll try to make this the last time

But I'm a hard way learner

I keep my finger to the burner

And I need my time to get it right

I'm a hard way learner

And the flags go up

The alarm bells ring

But I'm blinded I don't hear a thing

So push that rock, Sisyphus, up the hill

Will it roll back, yeah, it probably will

But you don't have to

keep pushing 'till you come undone

And they talk about a wheel to which we're bound

To ride forever as it goes around

And if you don't get it in this life

You try the next one

So please be patient with me baby

I want to make this the last time

But I'm a hard way learner

I keep my finger to the burner

And I need my time to get it right

I'm a hard way

I'm a hard way learner

I keep my finger to the burner

I need my time to get it right

I'm a hard way

oh yeah

oh
