[Verse 1]
Always thought when I sleep
Was meant to be peaceful
But my blood’s been running
My teeth fall out in my dreams
Don’t know what it means now
But it must mean something
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wish I was in love, wish I was alone
Never wanna work, wish I wasn’t broke
Wish I had a clue, had it figured it out
But I really don’t
So tell me
[Chorus]
When did everything here get so fucking complicated?
Used to laugh at nothing, don’t know how I got this jaded
Thought it was fine
Thought we had time
But we feel dated
When did everything here get so fucking complicated?
[Verse 2]
Always thought when I’m older
I’ll be done waiting for my life to happen
My grandfather was a soldier
But all that I know is that I don’t know nothin' (No, I don't know nothin')
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Wanted thicker skin, wanted tougher bones
Wanna be away, wish I was at home
Wish I had a clue had it figured out
But I really don’t
Again? Yeah
Wish I was in love, wish I was alone
Never wanna work, wish I wasn’t broke
Wish I had a clue, had it figured it out
But I really don’t
So tell me
[Chorus]
When did everything here get so fucking complicated?
Used to laugh at nothing, don’t know how I got this jaded
Thought it was fine
Thought we had time
But we feel dated
When did everything here get so fucking complicated?
[Post-Chorus]
When did every—
When did, when did everything here—
When did, when did everything here get so fucking complicated?
When did every—
When did, when did everything here—
When did, when did everything here get so fucking complicated?
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I never asked for this not once
Bring me back to the basics (Back to the basics)
Speeding up and I’m barely holding on
Bring me back to the basics, to the start
So tell me
[Bridge]
When did everything here get so fucking complicated?
Used to laugh at nothing, don’t know how I got this jaded
Thought it was fine
Thought we had time
But we feel dated
When did everything here get so fucking complicated? (So tell me when—)
[Chorus]
When did everything here get so fucking complicated? (Complicated)
Used to laugh at nothing, don’t know how I got this jaded (How I feel so jaded)
Thought it was fine
Thought we had time
But we feel dated
When did everything here get so fucking complicated? (—cated)
[Outro]
When did every—
When did, when did everything here—
When did, when did everything here get so fucking complicated? (Fucking complicated)
When did every—
When did, when did everything here—
When did, when did everything here get so fucking complicated?

I wrote Complicated after having a dream that my teeth were falling out. I was in Stockholm feeling homesick and under a lot of pressure, and then my grandfather (my Papou as we call him in Greek) passed away. So the morning after having the dream I decided to take that into the studio but instead o...
