Contextual Analysis of "So clever" in Lyrics

start

so smooth and debonair

one can see under the door

you never

but you're a california earthquake

you can talk circles around me

sever the ties

but clever ain't wise

innocence is lost

lines have been crossed

sever the ties

but clever ain't wise

but the struggle never left the streets

do you remember how we used to fight

she meant you no harm

but now you must sever

lose what i have found

cuz there coming after you
