Oh it's a complicated rhyme
A bad transmission on borrowed time
A morning spent on your own
With too much coffee and a telephone
You navigate the lapse
Between what's coming and what has passed
A complicated rhyme
A bumpy ride through space and time

And I want to know what you would do
If I came around and said to you
"We could make everything much easier
We could start over, darling
We could make everything brand new"

Oh there's a price you have to pay
For wanting everything your own way
I pay it every day
And I'm not proud of that anyway
I put in so much time
Breaking down this complicated rhyme
I think I'm losing my mind
And I miss you baby all of the time

And I want to know what you would do
If I came around and said to you
"We could make everything much easier
We could start over, darling
We could make everything brand new"
