Simple Things (feat. Alexander Cardinale)

Christina Perri


Thinkin' about the night I first met you
Yeah, we were younger then
It all felt so new
We talk about building a house, so tall
Thought we had nothin' then
But damn, we had it all

But life got in the way
Cause time has got a way
Of making you forget what matters most
But that's just how it goes

There's so much weighin' on my brain
And I tend to overcomplicate
Let's try to entertain a different point of view
I wanna get back to the simple things with you

You love the ocean, why don't we just go?
Kick off your shoes and feel the sand under your toes
Wait for the stars so I can watch you glow
Just can't stop looking, cause you're so damn beautiful

Maybe we should stay
Cause I don't want to leave
What if we forget what matters most?
Do we really have to go?

There's so much weighin' on my brain
And I tend to overcomplicate
Let's try to entertain a different point of view
I wanna get back to the simple things with you

Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do
I, I, I
Want to get back to the simple things with you

So darling, may I, may I
May I have this dance with you?
Drink every single, drop of, life inside the glass
Why don't we lay right here
And waste a day or two?
When I get back to the simple things with you

There's so much weighin' on my brain
And I tend to overcomplicate
Let's try to entertain a different point of view
When I get back to the simple things with you

Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do
I, I, I

Want to get back to the simple things with you (you, ooh)
Want to get back to the simple things with you
Want to get back to the simple things with you
Want to get back to the simple things with you
