Tegan & Sara - Are You Ten Years Ago lyrics

Can you give me solid ground,

‘cause all my footsteps turn me down.

One by one.

Can you give me free advice,

I don't know if I can,

but I'll try to listen.

And I can blast friendship to hell,

or I can try to make things better

Believe me that I'll make things better

But they change the rules when it's my turn,

so they can laugh and watch me burn.

I can laugh about it,

or I can cry about it,

I should ignore the words you say.

‘Cause they can hurt,

but won't kill me

They can hurt,

but won't kill me.

They can hurt but won't kill me.

A fist full of the things you love.

Life's a quiz so cough it up.

Go on and cough it up now.

When the future's far away,

it's always better than today.

And everytime I'm having fun,

there's something I'm doing wrong.

And all these warning lights are lit,

but always after you need it.

Yeah well anyway,

I can laugh about it,

I'd better try to laugh.

I can cry about it.

You'll never see me cry

I should ignore the words you say.

they can hurt,

but won't kill me

They can hurt,

but won't kill me.

They can hurt but won't kill me.

So I can laugh about it,

yeah I'd better try to laugh.

I can cry about it.

You know you'll never see me cry.

I should ignore the words you say.

They can hurt,

but won't kill me.

‘Cause they can hurt,

but won't kill me.

No they won't kill me.
