Karaoké Simple Song The Shins

Well this is just a simple song to say what you done

I told you 'bout all those fears and away they did run

Your shore must be strong

And you feel like an ocean made warm by the sun

When I was just nine 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 home

My life in an upturned boat marooned on a cliff

You brought me a great big flood and you gave me a lift

Girl, what a gift

You tell me with your tongue

And your breath goes in my lungs

And we 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 home

Well this would be a simple song to say what you done

I told you 'bout all those fears and away they did run

Your shore must be strong

And you feel like an ocean made warm by the sun

Remember walking a mile to your house aglow in the dark

I made a fumbling play for your heart and the axe struck a spark

You wore a charm on the chain that I stole especial for you

Love's such a delicate thing that we do with nothing to prove

Which I never knew
