"Nuance" lyrics

"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, musta 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 wood from the trees
I used to be alright with nuance
But I've got some new wants, 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
Sharin' his opinions, used to listen in those days
But I threw a cocktail party and just left nuance out
Of the conversation, musta 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 wood from the trees
I used to be alright with nuance
But I've got some new wants, 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 wood from the trees
I used to be alright with nuance
But I've got some new wants, 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

"When you're younger, there's much more freedom to ask questions and explore everything around you," said Alec Benjamin about "Nuance". "But then, as people get older, they get so busy with work and kids and other problems that it's just easier to paint with a broad brush and not really dig into the details. I wanted to write a song that personified the idea of nuance and talked about how losing that nuance changes the way we interpret the world."
