This is a story
Of one I can't forget
Two different people
Trying to figure out where they end
Do you remember
All the simpler times
Sharing tapes and pressing rewind

We got nothing left in common
Nothing left to say but
Somehow you're a part of me
The part I can't erase so

Can we be boring
Can we be friends
We're complicated but can we just pretend
Like all our problems
Are miles and miles away
'Cause boring people don't change

If I were a stranger
Could we begin again
With records and reruns
On a weeknight out past ten

I'll fight to remember
All the simpler times
When we thought we'd stay here forever

We got nothing left in common
Nothing left to say but
Somehow you're a part of me
The part I can't erase so

Can we be boring
Can we be friends
We're complicated but can we just pretend
Like all our problems
Are miles and miles away
'Cause boring people don't change

We could spend our years together
See the world on television
Do the things that other people do

And maybe we'll be ordinary
Start again in January
Simples underrated till it's you
So tell me what to do

So, can we be boring
Can we be friends
We're complicated but can we just pretend
Like all our problems
Are miles and miles away
'Cause boring people don't change
'Cause boring people don't change
Boring people don't change
