Jennifer Chung - Common, Simple, Beautiful lyrics

rate me

Don't you agree

When they all say

"Home is where the heart is"?

But do you see

With every step that you take

You get further away

From where the heart is?

It's so easy to be blinded

And caught up up in the clouds where everything's in a haze

Causing you to forget about the days

Of the common, simple, beautiful ways

I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends

Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents

Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite know what was to come

Years of memories, irreplaceable fun

I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day

She would smile and knew exactly all the right words to say

Man, I miss her and can't wait 'til I get back to the Bay

Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways

Isn't it nice

To simply know

There's somewhere you can go back to?

So it's a big sacrifice

Everytime that you decide

You can't even if you want to

It's so easy to be blinded

And caught up up in the clouds where everything's in a haze

Causing you to forget about the days

Of the common, simple, beautiful ways

I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends

Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents

Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite know what was to come

Years of memories, irreplaceable fun

I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day

She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say

Man, I miss her and can't wait 'til I get back to the Bay

Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways

So even though

I am happy now

I'll never forget where I'm from and how I came to be

What was common, ended up to be

A very unique treasure I have now decided to keep

I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends

Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents

Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite know what was to come

Years of memories, irreplaceable fun

I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day

She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say

Man, I miss her and can't wait 'til I get back to the Bay

Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways
