Backstory

Sometimes the smartest move is the simplest one. Jazz piano hit different that night.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jazz piano playing like it knows my secrets
Boom-bap drums like a heartbeat keeping
Sometimes the answer isn't complicated
We just overthink it till it's suffocated
Common sense said leave, I stayed
Common sense said save, I paid
Common sense said sleep, I ground
Funny how the simplest truths are the last ones found

[Chorus]
Common sense, common sense
The smartest move don't need a defense
Common sense, common sense
Stop overthinking, the answer's immense
In its simplicity

[Verse 2]
Piano keys and a late night thought
Every complex problem has a simple knot
You just pull the right thread and it all unravels
But we'd rather pack our bags and travel
Looking for answers in the distance
When the truth was sitting in the kitchen
Drinking coffee, waiting for you to listen
Common sense been here the whole time

[Bridge]
We chase the algorithm, miss the obvious
Chase the clever, miss the honest
The jazz knows... simplicity is the highest form
Of sophistication

[Outro]
Common sense... just listen
The piano's been telling you all night
