The Shins - Simple Song (audio)

[00:26.21] Well this is just a simple song

[00:29.96] To say what you've done

[00:33.97] I told you about all those fears

[00:38.25] And away they did run

[00:40.49] You sure must be strong

[00:46.21] When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun

[00:53.96] When I was just nine-years-old

[00:58.22] I swear that I dreamt

[01:02.22] Your face on a football field

[01:05.93] And a kiss that I kept

[01:08.48] Under my vest;

[01:14.47] Apart from everything

[01:16.47] But the heart in my chest

[01:22.78] I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone

[01:30.72] Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and bleed like a stone

[01:38.72] Could be there’s nothing else in our lives, so critical

[01:46.25] As this little home

[01:51.74] My life in an upturned boat

[01:54.46] Marooned on a cliff

[01:57.95] You brought me a great big flood

[02:01.43] And you gave me a lift

[02:04.48] Girl, what a gift!

[02:08.75] You tell me with your tongue

[02:10.49] And your breath was in my lungs

[02:12.21] And we float up through the rift

[02:15.22] I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone

[02:22.50] Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and bleed like a stone

[02:30.48] Could be there's nothing else in our lives, so critical

[02:37.99] As this little home

[02:58.26] Well this would be a simple song

[03:01.97] To say what you've done

[03:06.19] I told you about all those fears

[03:10.16] And away they did run

[03:11.99] You sure must be strong

[03:16.22] When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun

[03:30.47] Remember walking a mile to your house

[03:34.20] Aglow in the dark

[03:38.48] I made a fumbling play for your heart

[03:42.19] And the act struck a spark

[03:46.71] You wore a charm on the chain that I stole

[03:50.22] Especial for you

[03:54.51] Love's such a delicate thing that we do

[03:58.22] With nothing to prove

[04:02.46] Which I never knew
