Lyrics

Simple True

[Verse 1]

Lying down on the pavement, so happy

Seeming to be in balance, but how could that be

Really I must be jealous, don’t tell me

I just gotta leave the broken pieces or it’ll be the death of me

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Six long years and seven heartbreaks

Broken strings and countless outtakes, why?

Never thought that I would follow through

Got a working title somewhere

And I know one day I’ll get there, I’m

Grasping here

[Chorus]

I’m looking out for a simple kind of true

Don’t know what I am waiting for

I’m holding out for a simple kind of true

At least some kind of a metaphor

[Verse 2] x2

It’s simple, simple and it’s true

We got much to do

No excuses they’re just useless

We've got much to do

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I’d say you hung the moon if they ask me

You help me so the plot won’t get past me

Sometimes the obvious cannot be seen

At least not by me

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Remember all of the times

When we couldn't make up our minds

Hours and years disappear

[Chorus]
