Alec Benjamin: Nuance

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 growing up and closing off
And losing touch
Mmm-mmm

I used to talk about the world
I used to talk about life with nuance
I used to see wood 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
Da-da-dum-dum-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 growing up and closing off
And losing touch
Mmm-mmm

I used to talk about the world
I used to talk about life with nuance
I used to see wood 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

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 wood 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
