Lyrics
Simple Things
Expressing a desire for simplicity in life
We want all very simple things
Desiring straightforward and uncomplicated things
but we know very little
Admitting a lack of knowledge or understanding
And so we get very complicated stuff
Complicating life with complex emotions like love
love and such, 'cause all in all we're beautiful
Despite complexities, recognizing the beauty in all
How easily we fall in love
Highlighting the ease of falling in love
You walk to me, you talk to me
Describing interaction through walking and talking
And sudden glances fall upon you and me
Moments of attraction between two individuals
This harmony was meant to be a symphony
Expressing that the connection is meant to be harmonious
We all assume that we rule our lives
Challenging the assumption of control over one's life
but we can't even hold our breath
Highlighting the fragility of human life
Who knows how suddenly worlds are turning
Acknowledging the sudden changes in the world
how suddenly things may change?
Emphasizing the unpredictability of life events
We are so terribly unpredictable and wonderful
Celebrating the unpredictability as wonderful
Just turn around and I'll be gone
Indicating the possibility of sudden departure
How easily we fall in love
Reiterating the ease of falling in love
You walk to me, you talk to me
Continuing the theme of interaction and connection
Then suddenly you go again
Expressing the sudden departure of a loved one
I'm losing you, I'm losing you
Conveying the feeling of losing someone
Oh talk to me, I'm losing you
Pleading for communication to prevent loss
And now, it's all very simple now
Stating that things are now simple
I hope you get this love alive, as easy as it is
Wishing for the continuation of love in simplicity
How easily we fall in love
Reflecting on the ease of falling in love once again
You walk to me, you talk to me
Describing another interaction and connection
And suddenly you're far away
Expressing the sudden distance in the relationship
I'm losing you, I'm losing you
Reiterating the feeling of losing someone
Then silently you answer me:
Receiving a silent acknowledgment of loss
"You're fading out, I'm losing you"
Quoting the response of fading and losing
Oh talk to me. I'm holding on
Pleading for communication to hold on to the relationship
