Least Complicated (Live)

[Intro]
This is a song I wrote. I was thinking about my, my little boyfriend in sixth grade, Danny. He was so cute, and I went to Woolworth's and I bought him a ring with my allowance. And uh, as soon as I gave it to him I knew that it, it wasn't the cool thing to do. And, that was just the beginning of the rest of my life! You have to laugh at yourself because you'd cry your eyes out if you didn't.

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Some long ago when we were taught
For whatever kind of puzzle you got
You just stick the right formula in
A solution for every fool

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I remember the time when I came so close to you
Sent me skipping my class and running from school
And I bought you that ring, 'cause I never was cool

[Chorus]
What makes me think I could start clean slated?
The hardest to learn was the least complicated (Oh yeah)

[Verse 3]
So I just sit up in the house and resist
And not be seen until I cease to exist
A kind of conscientious objection (Ah)
A kind of dodging the draft

[Verse 4]
The boy and girl are holding hands on the street
And I don't want to but I think, "You just wait"
It's more than just eye to eye
Learn the things I could never apply

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I remember the time when I came so close with you
Let everything go, it seemed the only truth
And I bought you that ring, it seemed the thing to do

[Chorus]
What makes me think I could start clean slated?
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
So what makes me think I could start clean slated?
The hardest to learn was the least complicated

[Bridge]
Oh, I'm just a mirror of a mirror of myself
All the things that I do
And the next time I fall
I'm gonna have to recall (Next time I fall)
It isn't love
It's only something new

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And I remember the time when I came so close to you
Sent me skipping my class and running from school
And I bought you that ring 'cause I never was cool

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
(Na na, na na na na na)
Least complicated (Na na, na na na na na)
The least complicated (Na na, na na na na na)
(Everybody)
(Na na, na na na na na)
(Yeah)
(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)

Yeah. Alright. Thank you.
