Simple Song

In the interest of keeping with the title, I shall make this post simple. The artist? The Shins. The song? Simple Song. Shortly after it's release, this song immediately crept onto my Spring soundtrack. Just a friendly reminder that life, and I guess love (ew!), doesn't need to be that hard. And we all do well to let people worthwhile "in", you never know, they might surprise you and be just what the doctor ordered! Enjoy my musically inclined pals :)

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
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
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 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
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
