lyrics

I remember once, I cared for you and thought this earth wasn't enough
Without my chest against yours beating serenades,
Those were better days when I wrote you simple songs.

And I remember too, I lacked the wit to make you smile as you do
My muscles creaked and ached from lifting weights in vain
My ego torn in twain somehow wrote you simple songs.

Well I can't dream of your hand in mine
It's late and my pillow is cold
And the sunlight's reflecting off my bedroom door
I know that's it's for sure
I can't hold on to you anymore.

Do you remember me making small talk at that park beneath the trees?
Shade was scarce, but I was cool on the hot seat,
Hoping I'd seem deep from writing all those simple songs.

I wouldn't be surprised if you had trouble picturing with your mind's eye
This scene of springtime I recall so vividly,
This intimate memory of writing you my simple songs.

I remember once, I cared for you and thought this earth wasn't enough
Without my chest against yours beating serenades,
Those were better days when I wrote you simple songs.
