[Verse 1 — immediate vocal; instruments enter one by one] It’s simple—keep a level head, An open heart, like somebody said. One says “Stay,” one says “Go,” Both say “See? I told you so.” I drew myself a straight, clean line, Bent it once and called it mine. Now every time I straighten one end, The other curls around again. [Chorus — band locks into a simple, heavy riff] It’s complex. That much is clear. I knew it all Till I got here. The more I learn, The less I’m sure. It’s complex— Play that part once more. [Verse 2 — bass, guitar and organ weave interlocking patterns] It’s simple—just let it go. Which part? Well, I don’t know. The grudge can leave, the lesson stays, But they’ve been sharing clothes for days. I love my quiet, I love my friends, I hate to see an evening end. I wave goodbye from the garden gate, Then miss the noise and celebrate. [Bridge — musical tension builds, then instruments fall away] I had another point to make, You smiled and gave my sleeve a shake. I lost my place a while ago, But my left foot seems to know. You take my hand, we cross the floor— I quit explaining. We dance some more. [Final Chorus — full band lands together on the simple riff] It’s complex. That much is clear. I knew it all Till I got here. The more I learn, The less I’m sure. It’s complex— Play that part once more. [Instrumental outro — interlocking motifs return, then resolve into the chorus riff]
