Lyrics

[Verse 1] No such thing as a simple song I'm convinced, oh, I should know Words can mean different things From day to day, they change their meaning Ain't no straight down the line Crooked things don't lie The way I hit your heart sometimes, yeah I swear it wasn't evil [Chorus] I'm waitin', tryin' to write my masterpiece And it's comin' out the rhythm Got twenty years and a nickel Guess I shoulda been smarter It shouldn't take much longer Than twenty years and a nickel [Verse 2] I looked to the headlines As a rich man tryin' to buy you Maybe there's a song with you About how too much of nothin' makеs you crazy Try and make it civil Human nature will defy you Down on thе corner, there's an expert Sayin' he don't like it [Chorus] I'm waitin', tryin' to write my masterpiece And it's comin' out the rhythm Got twenty years and a nickel Guess I shoulda been smarter It shouldn't take much longer Than twenty years and I'm waitin', tryin' to write my masterpiece And it's comin' out the rhythm Got twenty years and a nickel Guess I shoulda been smarter It shouldn't take much longer Than twenty years and a nickel
