A Simple Song

(albüm: Lost & Found - 2015)

Don't say that your heart is broken
Don't say that your hope is gone
Don't believe all the lies they've spoken
Just put your faith in a simple song

You used to love them when you were a kid
You always saw them when they came to town
A faded poster on the bedroom wall now
The baby's sleeping, turn that music down

You'll grow old, but we won't forget you
There was a time when you were young and strong
When the lonely world was waiting for you
And all it took was a simple song

Consequences
Consequences
Every time you look at me
Will you turn to what's they see
You think you love me
But I won't ever be
The girl you thought that I
Was simple in disguise
The girl you miss
I will never be

I believe in the verse and chorus
I believe in the radio
I know the tune, but the signals fading
You were here, but you had to go

The song ends and the rest is silence
The moon is empty and the night is long
You lost the melody that helped you sleep
But don't be scared, put a record on

Play the one about the time I held you
The tune's familiar, but the words are wrong
There's nothing left, but the fade out now
It's hard to let go of a simple song

Consequences
Consequences
Every time you look at me
Will you turn to what's they see
You think you love me
But I won't ever be
The girl you thought that I
Was simple in disguise
The girl you miss
I will never be

It's just another way of marking time
It's just a little help to keep you strong
I hope you hum it somewhere down the line
I hope you hold on to a simple song
