lowest common denominator

We're double-dutching dropped ropes
And I'm too young for this feeling
But we're still here and I've lost hope

John looks down at me
I touch his feet
I look across at your grin
So full of glee

I don't know why
But I contain it
My face is red
I can't explain it

I guess that's all I'll ever see
Your lowest common denominator sensibilities
But I'll stay 'cause your fun is a need of mine, I bet
It's as close as I can get
It's as close as I can get

You can't be alone with me, I know
You hug me weird, you get this feeling
It's been a decade of these tropes

You look through the screen
It's all so blurred
I can't make sense of you
I call you absurd

Guess I know why
You can't contain it
Your tears roll down
I can't sustain it

I guess that's all I'll ever see
Your lowest common denominator sensibilities
I can't stay 'cause your peace is a need of mine, I bet
It's as far as I can get
It's as far as I can get

I guess that's all I'll ever be
An unrequited mess your skin will never have to clean
But I'll stay 'cause your love is a need of mine, I bet
It's as close as I can get
It's as close as I can get
