Well, this is just a simple song
To say what you've done
I told you about all those fears
And away they did run
You sure must be strong
When 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
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 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 was in my lungs
And we floar through the rift
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 home
Well, this would be a simple song
To say what you've done
I told you about all those fears
And away they did run
You sure must be strong
When 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 fumbling play for your heart
And the act 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
My comment:
I don't know how it happened, but one day totally out of the blue, this song appeared in one of my spotify-lists. I guess that someone wanted me to hear the song, for some reason... I'd never heard of the band or the song before, but I was hooked at once!
Both the tune and lyrics are really nice and it simply makes me feel happy and strong! It is a nice love story about a special friendship. The author seems to understand some important points about life. We don't have to "carry" our entire "load" alone, it gets lighter when shared... I really like this part; "Love's such a delicate thing that we do. With nothing to prove. Which I never knew". Love has truly nothing to prove!
The music video is quite funny, but serious at the same time. It might seem like that story doesn't fit with the lyrics very well, but they are connected... For some people this song and music video can me an eye opener.
