Such a Simple Way

I don't know how it all became so complicated
It used to be a simple thing when we communicated

And I remember there was such a simple way
If there was something I just had to say

I'd smile at you and I'd punch your arm
And you'd know I didn't mean you no harm
You'd look at me with a childish grin
And land a good hard kick to my shin
And we'd know we could be in love.

The more we gre, the more we were the same
We were both pieces in a complex game
And though we never understood the rules
They continued to rule over us.

And I remember there was such a simple way
If there was something I just had to say

I'd smile at you and I'd punch your arm
And you'd know I didn't mean you no harm
You'd look at me with a childish grin
And land a good hard kick to my shin
And we'd know we could be in love.
