Daniel Nahmod - I Learn (And I Forget)

Shouldn't I be grown up by now
Shouldn't I have finally figured out a few things
Ain't a kid anymore
Didn't I go through this back then
Why the hell do I need to again
Who said time was the cure

For a minute I'm the man that I wanna be
Then up comes some adult non-emergency
And my costume comes apart
And I've lost count of the steps and the slips
And bad habits I was sure would lose their grip
They're still clingin' to my heart

And I'm wonderin' why
I learn, and I forget
Yeah I learn, and I forget
Oh I learn
Like I'm just gettin' started

Why do I learn, and I forget
Oh I learn, and I forget
Oh I learn
That life ain't for the faint-hearted

How many lessons have I laid to rest
How many wins are just rewritten regrets
No I can't understand
How many Yes's gonna sound like No
Guess it's best to let my memory go
Just to make the man I am

Still I'm wonderin' why
I learn, and I forget
Yeah I learn, and I forget
Oh I learn
Like I'm just gettin' started

Why do I learn, and I forget
Oh I learn, and I forget
Oh I learn
That life ain't for the faint-hearted

Oh I wish I could say wisdom comes with age
But lately I ain't so sure
At the end of the day, I just hope I've made
A mistake I've never made before

I learn, and I forget
Yeah I learn, and I forget
Oh I learn
Like I'm just gettin' started

Why do I learn, and I forget
Oh I learn, and I forget
Oh I learn
That life ain't for the faint-hearted
