JAKE WALDEN lyrics : "Simple Life"

You say were getting older
You say remember when?
When we were younger

And a mother hungered
For a simple life.


I remember years ago when you came into my room
Id scream and then id laugh at you like a teenage boy will do
Not a brother then or friend to say

oeyoure too beautiful to count the ways
You were lovely with your broken smile
I was blinded by your light


Seventeen and almost grown
I found a place to call my own

You came into my door that night so alive alive alive
We drank the wine that night to take the dare
It hit you hard

I held your hair
You were lovely with your broken smile
I began to see the light


Yeah when youre feeling a little low
Yeah when youre cryin out for more

Yeah ill be running
Never far from where you are


Twenty four he broke your heart
They flew me home to see your dark
Through a canyon deep in desert land

We would drive and drive and drive
You said oelets melt into the ground today
Stare at the clouds and laugh away

You were lovely with your broken smile
I was proud to see your light


Im thinking 50 years from now
When all is said and done
With babies grown and lovers gone

To time and time and time
Well recall the days when mom would say
oeyoure too beautiful to count the ways

Youll be lovely with your broken smile
When you rise into the light


Yeah when youre feeling a little low
Yeah when youre cryin out for more
Yeah ill be running

Never far from where you are

Theyll say oewere gettin older

Theyll say oeremember when?
When they were younger and a mother hungered
For a simple life

A simple life.
