In and out
That’s my way in
I saw an old sign
When my world was way down
Quiet on the streets
So I climbed the stairs
To the rarified air
I’ve been on fire
Made from my thoughts
I thought up my life by
Out then back in
That’s the way to begin
But I had to climb down
Into today
And give up the pain
I held myself up by
[Chorus]
Baby, be simple
Baby, be simple
Be simple
Be simple with me
[Verse 2]
Out, thicker skin
That’s no way to begin
Come with your true arc
To fall all the way down
Like an empire
Into a kingdom of guts
To become a rooftop
I built me from the bedrock
Made me right up
Ignited little tunes
While the wind was still
Trying to find a way to tell you
If I'm not the true arc
Is even there
Or on a pillow of air
Rip me apart by the lore
To become that rooftop
Had to fall all the way down
[Chorus]
Baby, be simple
Baby, please be simple
Be simple
Be simple with me
[Verse 1] In and out That’s my way in I saw an old sign When my world was way down Quiet on the streets So I climbed the stairs To the rarified air I’ve been on fire Made from my thoughts I thought up my life by Out then back in That’s the way to begin But I had to climb down Into today And give up the pain I held myself up by [Chorus] Baby, be simple Baby, be simple Be simple Be simple with me [Verse 2] Out, thicker skin That’s no way to begin Come with your true arc To fall all the way down Like an empire Into a kingdom of guts To become a rooftop I built me from the bedrock Made me right up Ignited little tunes While the wind was still Trying to find a way to tell you If I'm not the true arc Is even there Or on a pillow of air Rip me apart by the lore To become that rooftop Had to fall all the way down [Chorus] Baby, be simple Baby, please be simple Be simple Be simple with me Explain Request ×
