  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

  S2:
  When I was just nine years o-old 

  I swear that I dreamt  

  Your face on a football fi-eld 

  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 

  And play like a stone  

  Could be there’s nothing else in our lives 

  So critical  

  As this little ho---ome

  S3:
  My life in an upturned boat  

  Marooned on a cliff  

  You brought me a great big flood  

  And you gave me a lift 

  Gi-irl, what a gift! And you tell me with your tongue 

  And your breath goes in my lungs and we float over the rift

  Well this would be a simple song

  R2:
  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 kne---ew
