I was sad I was romantic I was taking all the drugs in the attic And you weren't scared The light was electric You were saying that Love is pedantic And we were kids And life was ephemeral You still laughed at Comedy Central Through the wires Through the heat Through the wires Through the heat And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out I was broke You in Manhattan Throwing stones on the ferry to Staten And you're alone Out on the weekend No one knows exactly how it could happen But we were kids And life's an invention You still asked your parents your questions Through the wires Through the heat Through the wires Through the heat And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out You're driving past my apartment I know it's not what you wanted Broke down you're fine under cover Grown up but I can't figure you out Sat on the hood of your friends car A cigarette hanging off your Lipstick your head on my shoulder So close but I can't figure you out You're driving past my apartment I know it's not what you wanted Broke down you're fine under cover Grown up but I can't figure you out Sat on the hood of your friends car A cigarette hanging off your Lipstick your head on my shoulder So close but I can't figure you out You're driving past my apartment I know it's not what you wanted Broke down you're fine under cover Grown up but I can't figure you out Sat on the hood of your friends car A cigarette hanging off your Lipstick your head on my shoulder So close but I can't figure you out
