I sit two storeys 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
So 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 just sit around
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 streets
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
Oh 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 storeys
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
