I show you up, you can’t wear that dress, | |
Your friends are all blocks, they’re all architects, | |
Constructing shapes that I can’t see, | |
Walking Dictaphones and trendy magazines. | |
I saw you there at the Friday Show, | |
You looked so strange in your brand new clothes, | |
You spoke with an accent I don’t know, | |
I guess it’s true, we all have to grow up soon. | |
You said you had places that you needed to be, | |
But places aren’t the same when you’re not with me. | |
Oh, Christina, | |
You know I don’t really wanted to leave you, | |
Acting out scenes on the bedroom floor, | |
You never used to act this way before. | |
Oh, Christina, | |
I only came around so I could see you, | |
Try and take back what you said before, | |
It’s not that simple, it’s not simple at all. | |
‘So Go’, you said, and I did, | |
You’ve got to stop talking in patterns and grids, | |
I know, it’s true, this shouldn’t be the end, | |
Oh, let’s just pretend. | |
You said you had places that you needed to be, | |
But places aren’t the same when you’re not with me. | |
Oh, Christina, | |
You know I don’t really wanted to leave you, | |
Acting out scenes on the bedroom floor, | |
You never used to act this way before. | |
Oh, Christina, | |
I only came around so I could see you, | |
Try and take back what you said before, | |
It’s not that simple, it’s not simple at all. |
I show you up, you can' t wear that dress, | |
Your friends are all blocks, they' re all architects, | |
Constructing shapes that I can' t see, | |
Walking Dictaphones and trendy magazines. | |
I saw you there at the Friday Show, | |
You looked so strange in your brand new clothes, | |
You spoke with an accent I don' t know, | |
I guess it' s true, we all have to grow up soon. | |
You said you had places that you needed to be, | |
But places aren' t the same when you' re not with me. | |
Oh, Christina, | |

It' s not that simple, it' s not simple at all. | |
