[00:13.960]The thermometer ran out of numbers
[00:17.020]When it reached fifty degrees
[00:19.480]I just lay down on the floor
[00:21.350]With a bag of frozen peas
[00:23.500]We saw plumes of smoke
[00:25.200]Rising in the distance from our balcony
[00:28.160]I poured a glass of wine
[00:31.250]Sucked the juice out of a kiwi
[00:34.170]Catherine turned on the TV
[00:36.230]They showed acres after acres
[00:38.090]Of absolutely nothing
[00:40.170]And then Stevie called and said
[00:42.070]Are you watching what I'm watching?
[00:44.100]I said I'm watching what you're watching
[00:46.020]Oh what is it I'm watching
[00:48.210]The night before I had been bored
[00:50.620]My legs had been restless
[00:52.650]It was my birthday
[00:54.350]I'd already opened up my presents
[00:56.440]At the social club I met some friends
[00:58.750]Who were friends with this girl
[01:00.380]One by one they dropped of
[01:02.380]Till it was just me and her
[01:04.560]We made out in every bar in town
[01:07.150]While the state of Victoria
[01:10.450]Burned down to the ground
[01:21.300]And the sun rose over the city
[01:27.060]The wind swept through the valley
[01:37.870]You don't get over a broken heart
[01:43.540]You just learn to carry it gracefully
[01:53.880]Edinburgh gardens offered some kind of shade
[01:58.210]I would pick up some beers and head down to the lake
[02:02.080]Watch the possums and listen to the growling banter
[02:05.980]There was one I liked especially
[02:08.250]I named her Santa sentimental
[02:10.220]I would offer a slice of apple from my hand
[02:14.120]She would sniff it, frown, and then lumber back to the trash can
[02:25.490]I was going uphill on my mountain bike
[02:28.630]When I was passed by a scooter
[02:29.810]You got a dollar or a cigarette
[02:31.840]Hey I'm talking to you poofa
[02:33.780]What I should have said was nothing
[02:35.700]What I said was get lost
[02:38.620]Next thing I'm upside-down
[02:41.470]With my bike in the ground
[02:43.710]Hitting dirt all the way home
[02:46.570]Cursing the buried ground which I was chewing on
[02:55.430]And the sun rose over the city
[03:06.110]The wind swept through the valley
[03:15.860]You don't get over a broken heart
[03:21.600]You just learn to carry it gracefully
[03:32.630]And that's what it's like
[03:34.110]When you've had your heart broken
[03:36.250]The world just shrugs it's shoulders
[03:38.980]And keeps going
[03:40.330]It just moves on in all it's sadness and glory
[03:44.160]Oh but then you're with a friend
[03:45.980]I tell them my story
[03:48.720]I saw Bunny put the book back on the shelf
[03:52.400]She says maybe it's time you take a look at yourself
[04:03.310]No one's born an asshole
[04:06.880]It takes a lot of hard work
[04:08.480]And God knows I've worked my ass off
[04:10.960]To be a jerk
[04:12.740]So many hands I've held
[04:14.840]While wondering why I felt nothing
[04:17.120]Why when I let go of that hand
[04:19.020]I always start to feel something
[04:21.280]Like a bottle smashed against my head
[04:24.750]She said I wish you would have just cheated on me instead
[04:38.640]Loving without loving
[04:40.050]Is always the worst crime
[04:41.690]I know all the signs and signals
[04:43.730]Cause now I've been on both sides
[04:45.750]The way you choose your words
[04:47.690]The limpness of your hand
[04:49.840]I almost died when you introduced me as a friend
[04:54.020]How can you call me a friend
[04:58.100]If you don't love me
[04:59.430]Then please have the dignity to tell me
[05:06.130]I never said any of that
[05:10.130]I just shook that hand and looked down at the doormat
[05:16.090]And the sun rose over the city
[05:20.530]The wind swept through the valley
[05:31.100]You don't get over a broken heart
[05:36.880]You just learn to carry it gracefully
