Lyrics

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 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 to 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 (yeah) Oh I just sit up in the house and resist And not be seen until I cease to exist A kind of conscientious objection (ahh...) A kind of dodge in 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... Well I remember the time when I came so close with you 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, ohh... 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's 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 And 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 what makes me think I could start clean slated? The hardest to learn was the least complicated The least complicated The least complicated
