Simple Song

The Shins

    Continues after the ad

    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
    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 got it alone
    Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to bleed like a stone
    Could be there's nothing else in our lives, so critical
    As this little hole

    Continues after the ad

    My life in a upturned boat
    Marooned on a cliff
    You brought me a great big flood
    And you gave me a lift
    Girl, what a gift
    Will you tell me with you tongue
    And your breath was in my lungs
    And we float up through the rift

    I know that things can really get rough when you got it alone
    Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to bleed like a stone
    Could be there's nothing else in our lives, so critical
    As this little hole

    Well this would be 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
    You feel like an ocean
    Being warmed by the sun

    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, special for you
    Love's such a delicate thing that we do
    With nothing to prove
    Which I never knew
