  • 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

    Baby, be simple
    Baby, be simple
    Be simple
    Be simple with me

    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 or not the true arc
    Is even there

    Or on a pillow of air
    I'll rip me apart by the lore
    To become that rooftop
    Had to fall all the way down

    Baby, be simple
    Baby, please be simple
    Be simple
    Be simple with me Writer/s: Dominic Salole, Leslie Feist
