Learn My Lesson Lyrics

This is one of my favorite songs on the new album! Probably because I can relate to every word in it. It's about not really learning from your own mistakes. He's saying that he should have known better but he still makes the same decisions, knowing that it is going to cause that same pain that he knows all too well from previous experiences. And he ultimately hasn't learned a thing even throughout everything that he has been through.

"Tonight the sunset means so much The one thing that you know, you never touch Like the feeling, the real thing I reach out for the sweet dream..."

I think in those lines, he realizes that he can have so much more than what he's putting himself through. And he truly wants to believe that, but something keeps drawing him back to "running right back for more [pain]."
