The Shins - Simple Song lyrics

rate me

Well this is just a simple song to say what you done

I told you about all those fears and the way they did run

You sure must be strong

and 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, with 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, complete like a stone

Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical

As this little hope!

My life in an upturned boat, marooned on a cliff

You brought me a great big flood and you give me a lift

Girl, what a gift you tell me with your tongue and your breath is in the lungs

And we float above the rift

Chorus:

I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone

Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, complete like a stone

Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical

As this little hope!

Will this be a simple song to say what you've done

I told you about all those years and the way they did run

The show must be strong,

and you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun

Remember walking the mile to your house a glow in the dark

I made a fumbling play for your heart and the axe drove the spark

You were a charm in a chain that I stole especial for you

Love is such a delicate thing that we do , with nothing to prove

Which I ever knew!
