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 (2)________ on the floor
With a bag of frozen peas
We saw (3)____________ of smoke rising
In the distance from our balcony
I poured a (4)__________ of wine
Sucked the (5)__________ out of a kiwi
Catherine turned on the TV
They showed acres after acres
Of absolutely nothing
And then (6)____________ called and said
Are you watching what I'm watching?
I said I'm watching what you're watching
But what is it I'm watching?
The night (7)____________ I had been bored
And my legs had been restless
It was my birthday
I'd already (8)____________ 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 (9)________ me and her
We made out in every bar in town
While the state of Victoria
Burned (10)________ to the ground

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 carry it gracefully

The Edinburgh (11)______________ offered
Some kind of shade
I (12)__________ pick up some beers
And head down (13)__________ late
Watch the (14)______________ 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 (18)______________ to you, poofter
What I should have said 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 (19)______________ the valley

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

And that's what it's like
When you've had your heart broken
The world just (20)____________ its shoulders
And gets going
It (21)________ moves on in all its sadness and glory
Over dinner 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 (22)__________ a lot of hard work
But God knows I've worked my ass off
To be a jerk
So (23)________ hands I've held
While (24)__________________ why I felt nothing
And why, when I let go of that hand
I always start to feel something
And like a (25)____________ smashed against my head
She'd say
I wish you just would've cheated on me instead

And loving without loving
Is always the worst crime
I know all the signs and signals
'Cause now I've been on both sides
The way you choose your words
The limpness of your hand
I almost died when you introduced me as a friend
How can you call me a friend?
If you don't love me
Then please 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 rose (26)________ the city
The wind swept (27)______________ the valley

And you don't get over a broken heart
You just (28)__________ to carry it gracefully
