Simple Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well this is just a simple song To say what you done I told you 'bout all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean Made warm by the sun [Verse 2] When I was just nine years old I swear that I dreamt Your face on a football field And a kiss that I kept Under my vest Apart from everything But the heart in my chest [Chorus] I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and play like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives, so critical As this little home [Verse 3] My life in an up-turned boat Marooned on a cliff You brought me a great big flood And you gave me a lift Girl, what a gift And you tell me with your tongue And your breath goes in my lungs And we float over the rift [Chorus] I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and play like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives, so critical As this little home [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Well this will be your simple song To say what you've done I told you about all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean Made warm by the sun [Chorus] Remember walking a mile to your house Aglow in the dark I made a fumbling play for your heart And the act struck a spark You wore a charm on the chain that I stole Especial for you Love's such a delicate thing that we do With nothing to prove Which I never knew
