Da-dum, da-dum
Ba-ba-da-dum
Nuance was an old friend that everyone forgot
After graduation he became an afterthought
We threw a cocktail party and just left nuance out
Of the conversation, must have lost his invitation
In the mail, in the mail
The all-too-familiar tale
Of growin' up and closin' off and losin' touch
Mm-mm
I used to talk about the world
I used to talk about life with nuance
I used to see word from the trees
I used to be alright with nuance
But I've got some nuance, don't want to be seen
With nuance, I've moved on, it's just not for me
Don't wanna talk about the world
Don't wanna talk about life with nuance
Anymore, anymore, mm
Da-da-dum-dum-da-dum
Nuance was an old friend that had a lot to say
Sharing his opinions, used to listen in those days
But I threw a cocktail party and just left nuance out
Of the conversation, must have lost his invitation
In the mail, in the mail
The all-too-familiar tale
Of growin' up and closin' off and losin' touch
Mm-mm
I used to talk about the world
I used to talk about life with nuance
I used to see word from the trees
I used to be alright with nuance
But I've got some nuance, don't want to be seen
With nuance, I've moved on, it's just not for me
Don't wanna talk about the world
Don't wanna talk about life with nuance
Anymore, anymore, mm
Da-da-dum-dum-da-dum
And if I do ever see him
Run into him at a café
And he asks me why I don't call him
I'll have nothing with nuance to say
I'll have nothing with nuance to say
I used to talk about the world
I used to talk about life with nuance
I used to see word from the trees
I used to be alright with nuance
But I've got some nuance, don't want to be seen
With nuance, I've moved on, it's just not for me
Don't wanna talk about the world
Don't wanna talk about life with nuance
Anymore, anymore, mm
Da-da-dum-dum-da-dum
