Boring People

This is a story

Of one I can't forget

Two different people

Trying to figure out where they end

Do you remember

All the simpler times

Sharing tapes and pressing rewind

We got nothing left in common

Nothing left to say but

Somehow you're a part of me

The part I can't erase so

Can we be boring

Can we be friends

We're complicated but can we just pretend

Like all our problems

Are miles and miles away

'Cause boring people don't change

If I were a stranger

Could we begin again

With records and reruns

On a weeknight out past ten

I'll fight to remember

All the simpler times

When we thought we'd stay here forever

We got nothing left in common

Nothing left to say but

Somehow you're a part of me

The part I can't erase so

Can we be boring

Can we be friends

We're complicated but can we just pretend

Like all our problems

Are miles and miles away

'Cause boring people don't change

We could spend our years together

See the world on television

Do the things that other people do

And maybe we'll be ordinary

Start again in January

Simples underrated 'til it's you

So tell me what to do

So, can we be boring

Can we be friends

We're complicated but can we just pretend

Like all our problems

Are miles and miles away

'Cause boring people don't change

'Cause boring people don't change

Boring people don't change
