SİMPLE SONG
THE SHİNS
Well, 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
With 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 bleed 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.
Girl, what a gift.
Will you tell me with your 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 go 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 isn't be 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.
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
We've nothing to prove
Which I never knew.
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
With 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 bleed 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.
Girl, what a gift.
Will you tell me with your 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 go it alone.
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough
To bleed like a stone.
Could be there's nothing else in our lives

Well, this isn't be a simple song
