Well this is just a simple song To say what you've done I told you about all those fears And the way they did run Your show must be strong And you feel like an ocean They'd want by the sun When I was just 9 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 that things can really get rough When you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough To play like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives So critical As this little hole My life in an upturned boat Marooned on a cliff You brought me a great big flood And you gave me a lift To care, what a gift And you tell me with your tongue And you're breath was in my lungs And you float over the rift I know that things can really get rough When you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough To play like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives So critical As this little hole BRIDGE: Well this'll be a simple song To say what you've done I told you about all those fears And the way they did run Your show must be strong And you feel like an ocean They'd want by the sun Remember walking a mile to your house A glow in the dark I made a fumbly play for your heart And the extra, a spark You're are a trauma, a chain that I stole Especial for you Love's just a delicate thing that we'd do We've nothing to prove Which I never knew
