Songtexte Simple Song - The Shins

Well, this is just a simple song
To say what you done
I told you 'bout 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 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 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 home?

Well, this will 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's dropped 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
