You can't get the genie back in the bottle
This is the hard stuff
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
And the past comes back to smack you around
It's not that easy to walk away
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
Consequences, consequences
And the tragedy that we invite into our lives
Now you think you've had enough
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
Said, “Baby, that's the price we pay
For the arrogance to think that you could somehow
Every little thing you do
For all the things you thought you've got for free
These are lessons in humility
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
Back in the bottle, no power, no potion
Everything matters
And everything matters
That sweet, delicious but not so original sin
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
No, you can't get the genie back in the bottle
Didn't they tell you that anything
As he was leaving
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
That smoldering tingle under your skin
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
Knowing is grieving”
Penitence for past offenses
Defy the laws of gravity
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
And when the world becomes too little or too much
And Adam glanced back at the tree
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
The shadow mind contrives the triumph
Everything matters
Everything you do
That feels this good comes with a price?
It gave you such a rush
And everything matters
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
Everything you say
