Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

When You Learn

There is no mountain you can climb

High enough to see past

The fact you climbed it all alone

There is no city filled with lights

So bright that you forget

You have never had a home

I gave the world my best

Brought back to you the rest

And in return you loved me more

How do I return

All that I took from you

And all the life you gave to me

When you learn you can't earn

The love you're waiting for

Its already yours

There is no reason we should doubt

The broken hearts will rise again

The mending touch of something grand

Isn't that what its about

The blinded charging through the night

Guided by the steady hand

I gave the world my best

Brought back to you the rest

And in return you loved me more

How do I return

All that I took from you

And all the life you gave to me

When you learn you can't earn

The love you're waiting for

Its already yours

When you learn you can't earn

The love you're waiting for

When you learn you can't earn

The love you're waiting for
