Least Complicated

I sit two stories above the street

It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep

There's life down below me, though

Kids are walkin' home from school

Some long ago when we were taught

That for whatever kinda puzzle you got

You just stick the right formula in

A solution for every fool

I remember the time when I came so close to you

Sent me skippin' my class and runnin' 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

Oh, 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 dodge in the draft

The boy and girl are holding hands on the street

I don't want to, but I think you just wait

It's more than just eye to eye

Learned the things I could never apply

I remember the time when I came so close with 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

So what makes me think I could start clean slated?

The hardest to learn was the least complicated

Oh, I'm just a mirror of a mirror of myself

All the things that I do

And 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 walkin' home from school

I remember the time when I came so close with you

Sent me skippin' my class and runnin' 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 what makes me think I could start clean slated?

The hardest to learn was the least complicated

Least complicated
