So Close To Complicated

There wasn't much more to us than...
And all the stars in the sky were crying
I didn't have it in my soul
To tell you you had lost control
And everyone around us begged
To sing it again, and I...

Couldn't help but slightly recognize
Your facial scars and loaded goodbyes
The same old stupid soapbox stand,
That you preach upon...

There wasn't much more to you than...
And all the heavens started rolling
You didn't have it in yourself
To tell me that I was...
Not the man that you needed
Something so close to complicated
Figure out yourself and then you'll see through me

And I sing it again that we were...
Bold and beautiful, but constantly recognizable
To all the people that knew us once before
And we were dealin' with
Preachers, thieves and politicians
So close to our lives ambitions
Until that day you looked at me
Opened up your mouth...

"There wasn't much more to us than..."
"There wasn't much more to me than..."
"There wasn't much more to us than life..."
"And I'm quite alright with that."
