again<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sitting outside with a glass of wine<br>She smiles at the sea, how it hangs like it&#8217;s painted<br>I know she and the beach are both out of reach<br>Then she smiles back at me and says, &#8220;Well, life&#8217;s complicated&#8221;<br>She captures in her pictures<br>What I look for in my songs<br>While she tries to grasp the world here<br>She knows better than to hold it for too long<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And please<br>Excuse me if I seem<br>A bit confused<br>But I&#8217;m just looking for a road<br>That I once used<br>And please<br>Forgive me if I seem<br>A bit unclear<br>But
