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.
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.
Oh I'll 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 dodging the draft.
A 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."
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.
I'm just a mirror of a mirror 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..."
