Simple Life
I saw your Ma down at Leslie's wake
I'd hitched a ride there in the middle of a school day
She held me in her arms in my uniform green
Looked into her eyes, you were all that I could see
Looked into her eyes, you were all that I could see
I saw your cousin getting the last train
We were both headed to the exact same place
I felt her reaching out to me to get to you
And so I told her I haven't got a clue
You were already gone before I got the truth
You were already gone before I got the truth
We were in the basement watching Simple Life on mute
'Cause you said your daddy doesn't like what it does to you
Pretty sure he felt that way about me too
I guess that I was different, but you were something too
I guess that I was different, but you were something too
I was there when you were building all your shrines
In your childhood bedroom where we'd spend most of our time
Focus in your eyes, I couldn't comprehend
You were already gone even way back then
You were already gone even way back then
I was at the party when the power went out
Sworn that I had seen you, though it was dark I couldn't tell
It was just somebody else I wished that you could be
I looked into their eyes, you were all that I could see
I looked into their eyes, you were all that I could see
I'd hitched a ride there in the middle of a school day
She held me in her arms in my uniform green
Looked into her eyes, you were all that I could see
Looked into her eyes, you were all that I could see
I saw your cousin getting the last train
We were both headed to the exact same place
I felt her reaching out to me to get to you
And so I told her I haven't got a clue
You were already gone before I got the truth
You were already gone before I got the truth
We were in the basement watching Simple Life on mute
'Cause you said your daddy doesn't like what it does to you
Pretty sure he felt that way about me too
I guess that I was different, but you were something too
I guess that I was different, but you were something too
I was there when you were building all your shrines
In your childhood bedroom where we'd spend most of our time
Focus in your eyes, I couldn't comprehend
You were already gone even way back then
You were already gone even way back then
I was at the party when the power went out
Sworn that I had seen you, though it was dark I couldn't tell
It was just somebody else I wished that you could be
I looked into their eyes, you were all that I could see
I looked into their eyes, you were all that I could see
