Simple Love 03:16
I'm gonna tell you a story about a boy and his world Crashed into each other andmade a hole in the Earth Where he built an apartment and fancied the walls Made strings into stories to cover the holes He don't know why he feels so numb Still he throws himself into the only thing he knows He believes in a simple kind of love Give your best to keep it fair because so much of life is not Who knows where it goes They're just glad they're along for the ride Second part of the story, where the boy meets the girl Takes her back to the apartment and the weight of the world Crashes in through the hallways, breaks down all their walls But they know it'll be ok, they'll get through it all They don't know where they'll sleep tonight Still they glow from the light they built inside They believe in a simple kind of love Give your best to keep it fair because so much of life is not Who knows where it goes They're just glad they're along for the ride Do you believe in a simple kind of love? Give your best to keep it fair because so much of life is not Who knows where it goes They're just glad they're along for the ride

Darlin' 05:19
I tried to warn you 'bout this beat up, blackened busted heart I mapped my bruises out for you and I took it all in stride although i never clarified i got bruised just like you we rely on worn down arms to hold the other through the night If you say you're done, I won't try If you think you're better off, I'll comply You won't catch me cryin' this time Cuz if you think you're better off then darlin' so am I not that I think there will be someone better made for me because I know if there was a mold It would be me, But what you're asking isn't fair to bear more than my share if you can't let go and let me in then what you can and what I you can't has left us here If you say you're done, I won't try If you think you're better off, I'll comply You won't catch me cryin this time Cuz if you think you're better off then darlin' so am I Here we are our worn down arms holding tight to a love that isn't wrong but isn't right Here we are our worn out hearts holding tight to a love that isn't wrong but it isn't right If you say you're done then darlin' so am I yeah darlin' so am I darlin' so am I

I should be hurtin' real bad, I should be on the edge I should be cursin' their name but here I am instead Grinnin' like I won Cuz I drank all my blues away I probably had it coming, I'm sure I brought it on Cuz that's just how do it, it's how I get on I should be cursin' myself but instead I bought a gun That gun's name is whiskey and I fired it off at one They say you can't drown your problems, son I beg to differ, I've done it more than once I'm sure I'll feel it all tomorrow but just for today I'm not thinkin 'bout tomorrow or hell to pay I'm just sippin on this sunshine packaged in a can Today I drank my blues away They say you can't drown your problems, son I beg to differ, I've done it more than once I drank all my blues away I drank all my blues away I drank all my blues away
