Simple Things
Like a high speed accident I feel as though I hit something
Thought I did everything right; somewhere I must’ve missed something
Where did I go wrong with you? Was I too nice
or too good to be true and you had to think twice?
I can only be me, at the least your eighty percent
If I have sinned against your heart then make me repent
As for the other twenty percent that I may fall short
I can make up for it with actions of all sorts
I’m the type of guy that enjoys the simple things
Not the type that’ll try to break you and eventually cripple things
You can bring out my creative side and allow me to build
While I lift up your spirits and leave an empty heart filled
You want me to be your rock; I’d prefer to be your island
Your mouth may not say it but, your heart can’t stay silent
I can admit feelings that I’ve had since a while back
Like when you walk away, you turn around - smile, I smile back
The way you stroke your hair away from your face
And the times I know you’re mad and need your space
The tone of your voice when you sound so relaxed
And when you say something funny just to see how I’ll react
I would very much like to give you a night to remember
And show how it really is for a gentle heart to be tender
It’s really quite simple so, I’ll leave it up to you
Get hold of me whenever you feel, you know what to do….
