Feist - Baby Be Simple

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
