Simple Things

You put on that makeup, spend an hour on your hair High heels and that red dress with a slit right up to there And I don't mind But sweats, a ponytail, and smile suit me just fine You'll get in the kitchen, make a meal fit for a king Burn your hands and cut your fingers just to feed me, girl And I appreciate But I'd equally praise a sandwich that you made You can search your whole life, never to find What's standing right in front of you It's always the simple things, the way you laugh It's the way you cry to your favorite song Life is all the in-betweens, the flowers you find On the uphill climb that keep you movin' on And after you stop chasing Is when you find out all that really made sense Is the simple things It's always the simple things Head up in the clouds, so many nights out on the road To come to the conclusion that there ain't no place like home I took some pretty pictures and I made some memories But there's one truth that still amazes me It's always the simple things, the way you laugh It's the way you cry to your favorite song Life is all the in-betweens, the flowers you find On the uphill climb that keep you movin' on And after you stop chasing Is when you find out all that really made sense It's the little things (oh) and the big dreams (oh) All the unseens (oh) looking back at me (oh) It's the long talks (oh) and the quiet drives (oh) And the slow walks, that's when you realize It's always the simple things Always the simple things, ay It's always the simple things (hey), the way you laugh (whoa) It's the way you cry to your favorite song Life is all the in-betweens (in-betweens, hey), the flowers you find (hey) On the uphill climb that keep you movin' on (whoa) And after you stop chasing (stop chasing) Is when you find out all that really made sense Is the simple things (ooh) It's always the simple things Oh-oh It's always the simple things, yeah
