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 dreamed

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

to play 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

to care, what a gift

You tell me with your tongue,

and your breath was in my lungs,

and you float over the rift.

I know that things...

Well this will be a simple song...

Remember walking a mile to your house, 

a glow in the dark.

I made a fumblin’ play for your heart 

and the extra, the spark.

You wore a charm in the chain that I stole

especially for you.

Love’s such a delicate thing that we do,

we’ve nothing to prove,

which I never knew.
