The Simplest Thing Lyrics - Singles - Hey Rosetta!

The rain starts off 

And it wakes you up 

You can't sleep 

With that racket on the roof 

You get up slow 

But you can't get going 

It seems this morning 

The lowness has won 

Did you stop to see 

Mediocrity and your self pity 

They were stealing a kiss 

Look at their lips, still shiny 

Did you notice that happiness 

Happens less the more often 

You stop to find where it's been hiding 

You say it's not my fault 

That I get so low 

There's a weight 

On my soul that just 

Keeps pulling me down, 

It's pulling me down 

I swear it 

So come on by my house 

And unleash me your monsters 

With you at the helm 

We'll go crashing around together 

Don't mistake some initial hate 

For something more than cautionary 

Cause baby this is love 

I'll come down to hell 

To keep you company 

Of all the days we've got 

We should be screaming out 

Of all the days we've got 

We should be screaming out 

Of all the days we've got 

We should be singing 

What's to be done 

One hundred and one 

In a tent for twelve 

With fingers and elbows 

In innocent ribs 

We're minding our business 

We're just minding our business 

Instead of minding our minds 

In times when the storms 

Could ravage your clothes 

The sound and the colour 

Could render you blind 

Or the throes of a nightmare 

Could sing you to sleep 

Then some foreign machine wakes 

You up at a mean hour 

But heaven is there 

Its under your hair 

It hides in the new noise 

Way up in the air 

Like a bird on the breeze 

Waiting for you and maybe me too 

And whats there to do 

One hundred and two 

Are out on the doorstep 

And they're pushing the bolts back 

They're wanting in 

They're humming our hymn 

Everybody's singing like beautiful birds 

Everybody's singing like beautiful birds 

Everybody's singing like beautiful birds 

In the trees, listen to it 

And it's easy man 

You can do it too 

Sing: I know what I want 

And I know what I need 

Cause it's the simplest thing 

It's the simplest thing 

It's the simplest thing 

Ohhh 

It's just the simplest thing 

Of all the nights we've got 

We should be stepping out 

Of all the nights we've got 

We should be stepping out 

Of all the nights we touch 

We should be swinging around 

From house to house 

If I could cheer you up 

That would mean so much 

Clowns in love just laughing it off 

Laughing it off, laughing it off 

You say its not my fault 

That I get so low 

But to drown you too 

That's a sick way to love 

It's a sick way to love 

It's a fucking sick way to love
