Artist: The Shins Album: Port Of Morrow (2012) Title: Simple Song
Lyrics Simple SongWell this is just a simple song To say what you done I told you about all those fears And away 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, 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, to play like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical As this little hole!
My life in an upturned boat, marooned on a cliff You brought me a great big flood And you gave me a lift To care, what a gift You tell me with your tongue And your breath was in my lungs And you float over the rift
I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical As this little hole!
Well this will be a simple song to say what you've done I told you about all those years and away they did run You sure must be strong And 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 fumblin' play for your heart and the extra, the spark You wore a charm in a chain that I stole specially for you Love's such a delicate thing that we do, we've nothing to prove Which I never knew |
