lyrics

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
