Simple Song

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

Could be there’s nothing else in our lives, so critical

As this little home

My life in 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

Well 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

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
