Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, simple thing, don't you know
It's a long way down, down
My head's in a maze, pretty please
Won't you drown me out, out
I can't believe what you've seen
And you're still around, around
Hey, simple thing, don't you know
It's a long way down, down
[Verse 1]
You grab me on the way to the sink
As I'm passing in and out of the scene
And you laugh at me, don't know what to think
It's actually getting harder to breathe
And you panic on the way to the top
I can't stand it, when did you start having thoughts?
You want safety? Go and marry a cop
And make babies that are normal enough
[PreChorus]
I know it's strange for you, I'm no stranger to
The other side of the damage that I've done
You get what's left of me, pure naivety
I don't think you'll ever understand
[Chorus]
Hey, simple thing, don't you know
It's a long way down, down
My head's in a maze, pretty please
Won't you drown me out, out
I can't believe what you've seen
And you're still around, around
Hey, simple thing, don't you know
It's a long way down, down
[Verse 2]
In the driveway
Never made it out past your place
And I got pissed, started screaming in your face
And you got pissed, didn't mean it, you poor thing
I think feeling sorry is becoming my forte
I'm sick of saying shit I never meant with a court face
It's colder than a bitch and you're wearing my North Face
If I'm such a dick, why'd you call me to kiss face?
[PreChorus]
And I know you think that you'll never see
In my head, what's in my head
And I'm alright with it, I just call it quits
In my head, in my head
[Chorus]
Hey, simple thing, don't you know
It's a long way down, down
My head's in a maze, pretty please
Won't you drown me out, out
I can't believe what you've seen
And you're still around, around
Hey, simple thing, don't you know
It's a long way down, down
