Paper boys and flower girls
Messy hair and tidy curls
Smart and stupid
Right or wrong
What side of the world are you on?

Daisy plants and Iron gates,
She’s the girl that everyone hates,
Smart and stupid
Right or wrong
Is it different now you’re gone?

Piano notes and tearful cries
The broadest smile and deep green eyes,
Smart or stupid
Right or wrong
Do I have to wait that long?

Forcing tide and sinking sand
Push her down or grab her hand
Smart or stupid
Right or wrong
She still watches all alone,

Floating clouds and lightning strikes,
Candle flames or neon lights,
Smart or stupid,
Right or wrong,
You were with me all along,

Baby laughs and blood stained knifes
Teenage fears and lonesome lives,
Smart or stupid
Right or wrong
Numbness sings its own sad song.
