I sit two stories above the street
It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep
There's life down below me though
The kids are walking home from school
Some long ago when we were taught
That for whatever kind of puzzle you got
You just stick the right formula in
A solution for every fool
I remember the time when I came so close with you
Sent me skipping my class and running from school
And I bought you that ring cause I never was cool
What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
So I just sit up in the house and resist
And not be seen until I cease to exist
A kind of conscientious objection
A kind of dodging the draft
The boy and girl are holding hands on the street
And I don't want to but I think you just wait
It's more than just eye to eye
Learn the things I could never apply
I remember the time when I came so close to you
I let everything go it seemed the only truth
And I bought you that ring it seemed the thing to do
What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
What makes me think I can start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
Oh, I'm just a mirror of a mirror of myself
The things that I do
The next time I fall I'm gonna have to recall
It isn't love it's only something new
I sit two stories above the street
It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep
There's life down below me though
The kids are walking home from school
I'm remembering the time when I came so close with you
Skipping my class and running from school
And I bought you that ring cause I never was cool
What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
Least complicated
Least complicated
