The Simple Things

[Verse 1]

I want to go to a place that I’ve never been

I want to find any excuse I have to call my friends

I want to find the girl I love and go and hold her hand

I want to do all the simple things

The simple things

I want to do all the simple things

For you and me

[Pre-Chorus]

Because I think

We all get wrapped up in life

And it’s so easy for us just to lose our minds

But what’s the point of living life in a way so blind

When we’ve got everything we need right in front of our eyes

[Chorus]

Oh, I think that we all take life too serious

And we get blinded by our own experience

We let our worries turn into our weariness

We care so much about tomorrow that we’ll die on our way there

[Verse 2]

I want to go to a place that I’ve never been

But can that place be here and not Heaven

At least for now, 'cause I don’t want to die too young

'Cause I’ve got way too many dreams and things that I’m still working on

I’ve got a thousand DMs that I still need to respond to

And I’ve got all these problems that I’m still holding onto

And I don’t want to die before I live my life

So I’ve praying, asking God if he could spare some time

For me

[Bridge]

'Cause I don’t want to live so carelessly

And I know that not a soul is here with me

And I know that it’s because I pushed them all away

And so I’m doing what I can to make up for my mistakes that I made

When I was a kid

But I don’t think I’m moving fast enough to make it to them

Oh, I don’t wanna lose my people

I don’t wanna give in

But I feel like this is my consequence

[Chorus]

Oh, I think that we all take life too serious

And we get blinded by our own experience

We let our worries turn into our weariness

We cared so much about tomorrow that we died on our way there

[Verse 3]

And now I’m 7 years gone from this Earth

And I just wish that I could tell my family that I worked so much for them

Because I loved them dearly

But I

Know that they can’t see that clearly, 'cause I

Never told them that I loved them, and I

Never showed up to a game

I told them that this life was more than running 'round playing games every single day

Oh I

Lost sight of the simple things

And what this life’s supposed to be

I never thought that I would see

My family walk away from me

I turned into someone I hate

And now I’m far away from my mistakes

But everything just ain’t that great

Because now I’m gone, and I’m to blame

[Chorus]

Oh, I think that we all take life too serious

And we get blinded by our own experience

We let our worries turn into our weariness

We care so much about tomorrow

That we died on our way there
