Primitive Notion

It doesn't take a lot to confuse me
I'm not aware of the passing of time
And I'd like to say to those who accuse me
Could you do it while you looked in my eye?

If you hold on primitive notion
And if you think you'd like to try
You can drink this magic potion
And you can do it 'til the day that you the day that you die

I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgment of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart?
I want it to be like it did at the start

I'm doing my best to confound you
Your behavior is so volatile
Not even a zoo would impound you
Don't look at me with your critical smile

Well I've been driving in the wrong gear
It's been a long and lonely ride
It's been winter for a whole year
But you couldn't hurt me if you tried

I've done it before and I'll do it again
Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart?
I want it to be like it was at the start

I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgment of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart?
I want it to be like it did at the start

I've got a message that I need to send
It's coming to you, straight from a friend
I wanted to see what's inside my heart
I want it to be like it was in the start
