February 27, 2024Book Smart, Love Dumb
Verse
Well, I've read every book on the shelf,
Got a mind full of knowledge, can't you tell?
But when it comes to love, I'm just a clueless kid,
Got a PhD in heartache, that's what they said.
I can quote Shakespeare and Einstein too,
But when it comes to romance, I haven't a clue.
I'm book smart, baby, but love's a different game,
I'm stuck in the pages while the world's in flames.
Chorus
I'm book smart, but I'm so dumb,
Can't figure out where the pieces come from.
I know all the facts, but I'm lost in the crowd,
In this crazy world, I'm just another face in the crowd.
Verse
I can analyze Kant and debate Descartes,
But when it comes to matters of the heart,
I'm fumbling in the dark, can't find my way,
I'm lost in translation, what more can I say?
I can't read the signs or decode the lines,
I'm out of my depth in matters of the heart's designs.
With all my intelligence, I'm still left behind,
In matters of love, I'm just a wandering mind.
Chorus
I'm book smart, but I'm so dumb,
Can't figure out where the pieces come from.
I know all the facts, but I'm lost in the crowd,
In this crazy world, I'm just another face in the crowd.
Bridge
Oh, I've got theories and philosophies,
But they don't mean a thing when it comes to me.
I'm a scholar of life, but I'm failing the test,
In matters of love, I'm just like the rest.
Guitar and Organ Solo
Chorus
I'm book smart, but I'm so dumb,
Can't figure out where the pieces come from.
I know all the facts, but I'm lost in the crowd,
In this crazy world, I'm just another face in the crowd.
Outro
So here I am, a walking contradiction,
With all my knowledge, I still lack conviction.
I'll keep turning pages, searching for the clue,
But until then, I'm lost without you.
