Description

A simple yet complicated kind of guy

Stare out the window looking back, blind to the new day’s sun

The pretty picture has a crack, nothing seems quite as much fun

I try to visualize my future, in my mind recall my raison d’etre

Well before I even knew her, seems I struggled so until I met her

Aiming for the bullseye, shot just a little too high

Went for a kiss got punched in the nose, but that’s just the way it goes

For a simple yet complicated kind of guy

Eyes wide shut going in blind, who the hell am I lying next to?

Not looking but always seem to find, another problem I devote some text to

I need to use my God given resources, listen as well as stare her down

Let my mind and my soul join forces, take my heart from lost to found

Aiming for the bullseye, shot just a little too high

Went for a kiss got punched in the nose, but that’s just the way it goes

For a simple yet complicated kind of guy

No more trying to fix things that I can’t, got my own shit for me to worry

I don’t mean to rave and rant, but your problems make me want to hurry

I’ll take care of mine and you yours, who knows someday we might try again

I leave but never slam the doors, no reason why I can’t be your friend

I’m not standing in a corner waiting, it’s not just all about you

Spent enough time contemplating, wondering just what I should do

I’m going to open my heart and my eyes, cast my love line into the sea

And pray to God that one of these tries, nets a love made just for me

Aiming for the bullseye, shot just a little too high

Went for a kiss got punched in the nose, but that’s just the way it goes

For a simple yet complicated kind of guy
