The simple things sit still
The plainest things they say
Like I want to hold your hand
And I want to see your face

The simple things sit still
The plainest things they say
Like I want to hear you joke so quick
Laugh low and look away

The grand sweeping narratives
The romantic ones we know
Left me with too many questions and a
Sense of vertigo

There's a lake somewhere ringed by trees
The warmth makes you sit, it's eighty degrees
It ripples like dusk when the dirt's still hot
Carries voices too well so the words you forgot

Soft barely spoken
Like dandelion wishes
Catch on the wind and land
On listening ears
Like kisses

And the plainest things they say
You'll hear when you sit still
You whispered, I could stay here forever
I breathed, I hope you will
