[Intro]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
[Verse 1]
Am I crazy?
'Cause I think I feel you next to me
When I know you couldn't be
Know we're in different cities
And I don't wanna get too close
I know I'm already exposed
[Pre-Chorus]
So are you feeling stupid, too?
I hope I'm not the only fool
Don't wanna run away from you
[Chorus]
Let's be real, I'm just saying
If you feel it, don't cage it
Ooh, I wanna be basic
'Cause you make me so complicated
Can I be basic with you?
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Can I be basic with you?
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Can I be basic with you?
[Verse 2]
Still don't get you
But I get the way you look at me
But there's no guarantee
Let's state the obvious
I'm tired of dancing around your heart
Oh, I need to know my part
[Pre-Chorus]
So are you feeling stupid, too?
I hope I'm not the only fool
Don't wanna run away from you
[Chorus]
Let's be real, I'm just saying
If you feel it, don't cage it
Ooh, I wanna be basic
'Cause you make me so complicated
Can I be basic with you?
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Can I be basic with you?
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
[Bridge]
So I go blindfolded
Hoping that I'll crash into you
There's no way to control it
I don't want to make an excuse
So I go blindfolded
Hoping that I'll crash into you
There's no way to control it, to control it
[Chorus]
Let's be real, I'm just saying
If you feel it, don't cage it
Ooh, I wanna be basic
'Cause you make me so complicated
Can I be basic with you?
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Can I be basic with you?
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
[Chorus]
Ooh, I'm just saying
If you feel it, don't cage it
Ooh, I wanna be basic
'Cause you make me so complicated
Can I be basic with you?

With this song I wanted to bring people down and then bring them up. It’s a song that has been in the mix for two or three years as one of the earlier demos. We wrote it on the piano and ended up just having that version. We were producing it and thought it would be nice to let people into the studi...
