The Shins - Simple Song

[00:25.41] Well this is just a simple song

[00:29.93] To say what you done

[00:33.65] I told you about all those fears

[00:37.64] And away they did run

[00:39.75] You sure must be strong

[00:45.60] And you feel like an ocean

[00:47.73] Being warmed by the sun

[00:53.83] When I was just nine years old

[00:57.82] I swear that I dreamed

[01:01.81] Your face on a football field

[01:05.79] And a kiss that I kept

[01:08.18] Under my vest

[01:13.76] Apart from everything

[01:15.62] But the heart in my chest

[01:22.52] I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone

[01:30.23] Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone

[01:38.20] Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical

[01:45.90] As this little hole

[01:49.88] My life in an upturned boat, marooned on a cliff

[01:57.86] You brought me a great big flood

[02:01.83] And you gave me a lift

[02:03.96] To care, what a gift

[02:07.68] You tell me with your tongue

[02:09.81] And your breath was in my lungs

[02:11.93] And you float over the rift

[02:14.32] I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone

[02:22.29] Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone

[02:30.26] Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical

[02:37.96] As this little hole

[02:57.88] Well this will be a simple song

[03:01.61] To say what you've done

[03:05.86] I told you about all those years

[03:09.83] And away they did run

[03:11.96] You sure must be strong

[03:17.81] And you feel like an ocean

[03:19.66] Being warmed by the sun

[03:30.29] Remember walking a mile to your house, a glow in the dark

[03:38.26] I made a fumblin' play for your heart and the extra, the spark

[03:46.23] You wore a charm in the chain that I stole especially for you

[03:54.19] Love's such a delicate thing that we do, we've nothing to prove

[04:01.63] Which I never knew
