Album: Swamp Ophelia
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 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 i 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 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 i remember the time when i came so close to 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 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 the things that i do the next time i fall i'm gonna have to recall it 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 i'm remembering the time when i came so close with you 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 what makes me think i could start clean slated the hardest to learn was the least complicated least complicated
