Learning (How To Love)

Anita Lipnicka


In your world of admirers, lovers, hangers on, 
Bathroom mirrors, ghosts and fleeting friends 
Your SOSs, your emotional messes 
And your daily dramas without end 

You're victories, wardrobe full of clothes you never wear 
A vase of daffodils in your window 
It's here I found the graveyard of my dreams 
The ones I didn't want to know 

We're learning, learning how to fall 
We're learning, learning how to fall 

Buried in the darkness, sitting naked in your chair 
You're a statue, indifferent to my stare 
I came begging at your bed, 
After a while, even i thought I wasn't there 

So I lost my body, lost Time but not my mind 
Just like life after death 
Washed away in a raging river 
And the coldness makes us shiver 
As we try to hold on tight 

We're learning, learning how to fall 
We're learning, learning how to fall 
We're learning, learning how to fall 
We're learning, learning how to fall 

Down a corridor of endless doors 
In a building of endless floors 
We run, hand in hand 
Searching for stupid things said in a clever way 
Afraid we might not understand 

We've forgotten the beating heart, 
Breathing in and breathing out 
How to see, touch and feel 
And when we get to the top of the hill 
We never want to come down again
