Simple Song - The Shins
Well this is just a 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
When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun
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
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
Might be there’s nothing else in our lives' so critical
As this little home
My in life an upturned boat
Marooned on a cliff
You brought me a great big flood
And you gave me a lift
Girl' what a gift
You tell me with your tongue
And your breath was in my lungs
And we float up over the rift
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
is Well just a 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
When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun
Remember walking a mile to your house
A glow 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
