[Intro] [Odd little synthesizer figure] [Rubbery bass joins] [Clipped guitar and tight drums] [Verse 1] You counted all the seconds Between my last two calls You found a hidden meaning In the pictures on my walls You studied every comma In a message that I sent Then asked me what the silence At the end of Tuesday meant [Pre-Chorus] You've got a theory for the weather And a diagram for love A hundred little questions When a simple one’s enough [Chorus] IT'S NOT THAT COMPLEX! YOU'RE MAKING IT A MESS! You've built a whole cathedral Out of maybe, no and yes! You've got a PhD in worry And a master's in distress But darling, all I said was "THAT'S A NICE DRESS!" [Verse 2] You said my smile was cryptic And my handshake was a clue You think my favourite colour Says a lot about my youth You've got a flowchart for affection And a spreadsheet for romance But when I asked you out on Friday You said, "What's the circumstance?" [Pre-Chorus] You've got a map of every motive And a graph of every sigh But sometimes when I wink at you I'm just winking with one eye! [Chorus] IT'S NOT THAT COMPLEX! YOU'RE MAKING IT A MESS! You've built a whole cathedral Out of maybe, no and yes! You've got a PhD in worry And a master's in distress But darling, all I said was "THAT'S A NICE DRESS!" [Instrumental Break] [Syncopated slap bass solo] [Quirky keyboard and guitar trade phrases] [Unexpected rhythmic stops] [Brief odd-meter instrumental section] [Band snaps back into dance groove] [Bridge] [Half-time groove] Now I'm not saying life's uncomplicated Or that love comes with a guarantee But you've turned a cup of coffee Into advanced philosophy And if the universe is chaos And existence is a test Then maybe we should stop discussing And just get a little rest! [Breakdown] [Bass and finger snaps] Complexity! Complexity! You're finding hidden patterns In my cup of bloody tea! [Final Chorus] IT'S NOT THAT COMPLEX! YOU'RE MAKING IT A MESS! You've built a whole cathedral Out of maybe, no and yes! You've got a PhD in worry And a master's in distress But darling, all I said was "THAT'S A NICE DRESS!" [Outro] [Band gets rhythmically more complicated] [Lead vocal remains cheerful] It's not that complex! No, it's not that complex! Well, maybe just a little... [Sudden perfectly synchronized band stop]
