Least Complicated

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

so long ago when we were taught
for whatever kind of puzzle you've got
you just stick the right formula in
a solution for every fool

i remember the time when i came so close to you
sittin there skipping my class 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
????
i'm tired of dodgin the draft

boy and girl are holding hands on the street
i want to but i think you just wait
it's more than just eye to eye
learn the things i could never apply

and i remember the time that i came so close to 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
what makes me think I could start clean-slated
the hardest to learn was the least complicated

just a mirror of a mirror of myself
all the things that I do
and the next time I fall
it isn't love ?????
it's only something new ?????
