I was sad, I was romantic I was taking all the drugs in the attic And you weren't scared The light was electric You were saying that love is pedantic And we were kids And life was ephemeral You still laughed at comedy central Through the wires, through the heat Through the wires, through the heat And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out And I was broke, you were Manhattan Throwing stones on the ferry to Staten And you're alone, out on the weekends No-one knows exactly how it could happen But we were kids And life's an invention You still asked your parents your questions Through the wires, through the heat Through the wires, through the heat And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out You're driving past my apartment I know it's not what you wanted Broke down, you're fine undercover Grown up, but I can't figure you out Sat on the hood of your friend's car A cigarette hanging off your Lipstick, your head on my shoulders So close, but I can't figure you out You're driving past my apartment I know it's not what you wanted Broke down, you're fine undercover Grown up, but I can't figure you out Sat on the hood of your friend's car A cigarette hanging off your Lipstick, your head on my shoulders So close, but I can't figure you out You're driving past my apartment I know it's not what you wanted Broke down, you're fine undercover Grown up, but I can't figure you out Sat on the hood of your friend's car A cigarette hanging off your Lipstick, your head on my shoulders So close, but I can't figure you out
