The Shins - Simple Song (Official Audio)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyAJ4V06izg
I think this is a wonderful song so immediate and present.
Well this is just a simple song
To say what you done
I told you about all those fears
And away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
Being warmed 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
DonÔÇÖt go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone
Could be thereÔÇÖs 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
To care, what a gift
You tell me with your tongue
And your breath was in my lungs
And you float over the rift
I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
DonÔÇÖt go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone
Could be thereÔÇÖs nothing else in our lives so critical
As this little home!
Well this will be a simple song to say what youÔÇÖve done
I told you about all those fears and away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
Being warmed by the sun
Remember walking a mile to your house, a glow in the dark
I made a fumblinÔÇÖ play for your heart and the act struck a spark
You wore a charm in a chain that I stole especially for you
LoveÔÇÖs such a delicate thing that we do, with nothing to prove
Which I never knew

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
