Private Education Songtext
von Josh Pyke

So it′s a private education,
And it's not getting any easier,
But if it′s any indication,
Well I feel a little weaker now.
And it's a private education,
So I present you with your degree.
A degree of separation goes a long long way when schooling me.

So forgive me for what I have done,
And forgive me for what I might do,
And redeem me to everyone,
As I submit myself to you.

You could wear me 'round like your best dress and I wouldn′t mind,
You could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside,
You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn′t change your heart,
Or kiss your scars,
Or find your heat there in the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark.


So it's a private education,
And I′m feeling like an innocent.
Though I feel a little guilty now,
Since I've sinned against myself again.

So forgive me for what I have done,
And forgive me for what I might do,
And redeem me to everyone,
As I submit myself to you.

You could wear me ′round like your best dress and I wouldn't mind,
You could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside,
You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn′t change your heart,
Or kiss your scars,
Or find your heat there in the dark.


I wanna learn you good,
I wanna read your text,
I wanna cut you deeper,
Wanna cut you best.
Now my cautionary ways are swept aside,
I fear you not,
All my past disclaimers and alibis,
I've now forgot,
You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart,
Or kiss your scars,
Or find your heat there in the dark.

So it′s a private education, and it′s not getting any cheaper, I wear the cost around like a wound, and I'll try not to bleed all over you.
