Lyrics

simple

I remember the posters on your wall
Zeppelin and Death Cab and The Shins
Stars on the ceiling, they glow like
Back when we were kids
That's when it hit

Sun goes down
Wish it was still around
Moonlit sky
Reminds me of the time
When we would

Take all our clothes off at midnight
Run fast and jump in the water
Memories to warm up the winter
Memories to get through the summer
We knew that those days wеre fleeting
We knew thе splash made a ripple
Wish we could go back to that time
When everything felt simple
Everything was so simple

I don't get how the present and the past
Can live together under the same roof
I almost made it through a whole day
Without thinking of you
And right on cue

Sun comes up
Guess sometimes life just sucks
Golden sky
Reminds me of the time
When we would

Take all our clothes off at midnight
Run fast and jump in the water
Memories to warm up the winter
Memories to get through the summer
We knew that those days were fleeting
We knew the splash made a ripple
Wish we could go back to that time
When everything was simple

Why can't it be so simple?
The splash made a ripple
Why can't it be so simple?

Sun goes down
Wish it was still around
