I want to know what happened to you
I liked you better in your art smock, mocking art rock
without intention, without design
You said you"d never be fine with being fine, or mine
So we went out to see your favorite band,
left when we saw they were bone and skin and 77
And I wanted to be something like you
and nothing like them
What you wanted I never knew
I was a mess but so were you
I should have guessed it was going to fall
to pieces in my hands again
I"m broken where I stand again
I never learn this lesson right,
but I want you here
You learned to mingle with a well-bred crowd,
straightened your hair and forgot all about
torn jeans and sweaters from the lost and found,
dropped some pounds and the people that you used to hang around
What you wanted I never knew
I was a mess but you turned so cruel
I should have guessed it was going to fall
to pieces in my hands again
I"m broken where I stand again
I never learn this lesson right
When I spent the night it just felt wrong,
like a Felt song, I"m off the throne
and I need you here, and you"re not around
Simple and Sure
Outside there"s a man who can"t make up his mind
looking for something he may never
And he"s got a girl with blisters, who tries to understand
she"s in love with a complicated man
But I never found it so hard
No I never was so confused
"Cuz I never found anyone so absolutely right
as I found in you
It might seem simple but I"m sure
I just want to be yours
It won"t be easy but I know
I simply want to be yours
I know we live in complicated times
and it"s so difficult to decide
who should be our king and how low we should bow
to lick the boots of a sacred cow
I just want to be yours
I liked you better in your art smock, mocking art rock
without intention, without design
You said you"d never be fine with being fine, or mine
