When You Learn by The Avett Brothers

When You Learn Lyrics

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
