A smoke alarm went off at night I woke up wipe the sleep out my eye She left a note "I'll be back in five" Well, I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive And I was told to put my job in front of you But it won't hold me like you do But I do it for the love Waiting on the gold rush Keep it on the edge Smoking on a roll-up When I see my friends All they say is "Hold up, Ed, remember the time When we were in school Listening to grown-ups Didn't learn a thing But then again you know what You know how to sing But you don't know anything other than that So maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way And maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way And maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way And maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way you wanna be loved." I never told her that I liked The way she dances slightly out of time And pretends she knows the words To a song she's never heard But I tell her all the time Well, I was told to put my job in front of you But it won't hold me like you do But I do it for the love Waiting on the gold rush Keep it on the edge Smoking on a roll-up When I see my friends All they say is "Hold up, Ed, remember the time When we were in school Listening to grown-ups Didn't learn a thing But then again you know what You know how to sing But you don't know anything other than that So maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way And maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way And maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way And maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way you wanna be loved." But I do it for the love Waiting on the gold rush Keep it on the edge Smoking on a roll-up When I see my friends All they say is "Hold up, Ed, remember the time When we were in school Listening to grown-ups Didn't learn a thing But then again you know what You know how to sing But you don't know anything other than that So maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way And maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way And maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way And maybe you should learn to love her Like, like the way you wanna be loved."
