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 made warm 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

But the heart in my chest

I know things can really get rough

When you go it alone

Don't go thinking you gotta be tough

And play like a stone

Might be there's nothing else in our lives

So critical as this little home

My life in an up-turned boat

Marooned on a cliff

You brought me a great big flood

And you gave me a lift

Girl what a gift

And you tell me with your tongue

And your breath goes in my lungs

And we float over the rift

I know things can really get rough

If you go it alone

Don't go thinking you gotta be tough

And play like a stone

Might be there's nothing else in our lives

So critical as this little home

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

Made warm by the sun

Remember walking the mile

To your house aglow in the dark

I made a fumbling play for your heart

And the act's dropped a spark

You wore a charm on the chain

That I stole special for you

Love's such a delicate thing that we do

With nothing to prove

Which I never knew
