Simple Song - The Shins

[00:26.350]Well this is just a simple song
[00:30.208]To say what you've done
[00:34.308]I told you about all those fears
[00:38.278]And away they did run
[00:40.458]You sure must be strong
[00:46.269]When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun
[00:51.689]
[00:54.238]When I was just nine-years-old
[00:58.238]I swear that I dreamt
[01:02.219]Your face on a football field
[01:06.990]And a kiss that I kept
[01:08.539]Under my vest
[01:12.888]Apart from everything, but the heart in my chest
[01:20.418]
[01:23.599]I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
[01:31.690]Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and play like a stone
[01:38.668]Could be there’s nothing else in our lives, so critical
[01:46.219]As this little home
[01:50.258]
[01:50.868]My life in an upturned boat
[01:54.990]Marooned on a cliff
[01:58.990]You brought me a great big flood
[02:02.249]And you gave me a lift
[02:04.557]Girl, what a gift
[02:08.509]You tell me with your tongue
[02:10.639]And your breath was in my lungs
[02:12.600]And we float up over the rift
[02:14.140]
[02:15.300]I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
[02:22.520]Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and play like a stone
[02:31.700]Could be there's nothing else in our lives, so critical
[02:38.540]As this little home
[02:41.729]
[02:59.300]Well is just a simple song
[03:02.520]To say what you've done
[03:06.800]I told you about all those fears
[03:10.540]And away they did run
[03:12.650]You sure must be strong
[03:18.560]When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun
[03:23.890]
[03:30.979]Remember walking a mile to your house
[03:34.680]A glow in the dark
[03:39.200]I made a fumbling play for your heart
[03:42.700]And the act struck a spark
[03:47.100]You wore a charm on the chain that I stole
[03:50.630]Especial for you
[03:55.400]Love's such a delicate thing that we do
[03:58.600]With nothing to prove
[04:02.590]Which I never knew
