Love in October permutations

I can't explain it, can't equate it
There is no word for what I'm feeling
I tried to paint it, but it came out a blur
I instigated the actions taken
I bled some ink on notes and paper
You wrote it down once or twice on my arm
Do do do...
Aggravated, self-debating, mindless talk about wrong equations
Collecting socks and shoes to amuse and confuse our friends
You told me once, but I never listen
You told me twice, but I keep forgetting
I'll write it down on a neuron in my head
Do do do...
(bass solo)
I can't explain it, can't equate it
There is no word for what I'm feeling
I tried to paint it, but it came out a blur
Do do do...
