[Verse 1] In and out That’s the 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
