Learning How to Smile Lyrics

Five miles outside of Vegas when
we broke down
Threw my keys inside the window
and we never looked back

We got all drunk and sloppy on a
Greyhound bus
We passed out
All them losers
They were laughing at us

I will never let them break your heart
No I will never let them break me

We got lost in Phoenix
seemed like such a long time
Seven months of living sweaty
On those thin white lines

did some time
for selling acid to the wrong guy
Life just keeps on getting smaller
And we never ask why

Why there is no perfect place
Yes I know this is true
I'm just learning how to smile
And that's not easy to do

I know there will come a day
When we can leave
And just go running away

(ooh yeah)

we were broke outside of Philly
when the storms came
I was working in New Jersey
Hitching rides in the rain

You was happy talking dirty
at that phone sex place
Life just keeps on getting
weirder for us every day

You say there is no perfect place
I say I know this is true
We are just learning how to smile
And that's not easy to do

We both live for the day
When we can
Run away
Ah baby we can leave
And run away
We can leave this place
And run away
We can leave it all behind
Just like we do everytime

Yes we both live for the day
When we can leave
And just go running away

No I will never let it break
your heart
No I will never let it break me

Five miles outside of Vegas
Five years down the line
We got married in the desert
In the sunshine

I can handle all the hell
That happens everyday
When you smile and touch my face
You make it all just go away

Yes I know there ain't no
finish line
I know this never ends
We are just learning how to fall
And climb back up again

I know theres nothing perfect
I know theres nothing new
We are just learning
how to live together
me and you

You know I live for the day
When you say,
"Baby let's just run away"

Ah baby we can leave
And run away
Yes we can leave this place
And run away

Everclear is a rock band formed in Portland, Oregon, USA, in 1992. For most of its existence, Everclear consisted of Art Alexakis (b. 12 April 1962, Los Angeles, California, USA; vocals, guitar), Craig Montoya (b. 14 September 1970; bass, vocals) and Greg Eklund (b. 18 April 1970; drums). Eklund replaced original drummer Scott Cuthbert in 1994. Montoya and Eklund departed the band in 2003, but Alexakis has continued performing as Everclear with a new lineup.

After a solo tour in the fall of 2003, Alexakis decided to continue with Everclear, organizing a new band that made its debut in March of 2004. The new lineup consisted of bass player Sam Hudson, guitarist Dave French, and drummer Eric Bretl. In the summer of 2004, the band added keyboard player Josh Crawley, and swapped Bretl for former Everclear drum tech Brett Snyder. The new lineup released its first recording, a cover of Woody Guthrie's This Land Is Your Land, that summer. A self-released EP of performances recorded for XM Satellite Radio called Closure was given out at shows in the fall of 2004.

Free of a major label, Alexakis spent the ensuing year and half slowly recording material for a new Everclear release. He admitted that the time after the breakup of the original lineup served as a "wake up call", during which he suffered his third divorce and a filing for bankruptcy. Alexakis announced the completion of the album in early 2006,titled Welcome To The Drama Club. The new band is now on Eleven Seven Music.

In August of 2008, drummer Brett Snyder left the band after four years. He was then replaced by Tommy Stewart, who previously played in bands Fuel and Godsmack. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
