The World Moves On (Studio) by Jens Lekman

(And this song is called)
(The world moves on)

The (1)______________________ ran out of numbers
When it reached 50 degrees
I just lay down on the floor
With a bag of frozen peas
We saw plumes of (2)__________ rising
In the distance (3)________ our balcony
I poured a (4)__________ of wine
Sucked the juice out of a kiwi
Catherine turned on the TV
They showed acres after acres
Of absolutely nothing
And then (5)____________ called and said
Are you watching (6)________ I'm watching?
I (7)________ I'm watching what you're watching
But (8)________ is it I'm watching?
The night before I had (9)________ bored
And my (10)________ had been restless
It was my birthday
I'd already opened up my presents
At the social club, I met some friends
Who were friends with this girl
One by one they dropped off
Till it was (11)________ me and her
We (12)________ out in every bar in town
While the state of Victoria
Burned down to the ground

And the sun rose (13)________ the city
The wind (14)__________ through the valley

And you don't get over a broken heart
You just learn to carry it gracefully

The Edinburgh Gardens offered
Some kind of shade
I would pick up some beers
And head down there late
Watch the possums and listen
To their Growling banter
There was one I liked especially
I named her Sam as in Samantha
I offered a slice of apple from my hand
She would sniff it, frown
And (15)________ lumber back to the (16)__________ can

I was going uphill on my (17)______________ Star
When I was passed by a scooter
You got a dollar or a cigarette?
Hey, I'm talking to you, poofter
What I should have (18)________ was nothing
What I said was "get lost"
Next time I'm upside-down with my bike in the dust
Spitting dirt all the way home
Cursing the very ground that I was chewing on

And the sun rose over the city
The wind swept through the valley

And you don't get over a broken heart
You just learn to (19)__________ it gracefully

And that's what it's like
When you've had (20)________ heart broken
The world just shrugs its shoulders
And gets going
It just moves on in all its sadness and glory
Over (21)____________ with a friend
I tell her my story
And as I finally put the book
Back on the shelf
She says
Maybe it's time you take a look at yourself

No one's born an *******
It takes a lot of hard work
But God knows I've worked my ass off
To be a jerk
So many hands I've held
While wondering why I felt nothing
And why, when I let go of that hand
I always (22)__________ to feel something
And like a bottle smashed against my head
She'd say
I wish you (23)________ would've cheated on me instead

And loving without loving
Is always the worst crime
I know all the (24)__________ and signals
'Cause now I've (25)________ on both sides
The way you choose your words
The limpness of your hand
I almost (26)________ when you introduced me as a friend
How can you call me a friend?
If you don't love me
Then (27)____________ have the dignity to tell me
But I never said any of that
I just shook that hand
And looked down at the doormat
The sun (28)________ over the city
The wind swept through the valley

And you don't get (29)________ a broken heart
You just learn to carry it gracefully
