Simple Things by Melodie Yvonne
I dream this lonely dream I’m in, I’m waitin’ for your face
I’m waitin’ to be next to you, and fill this empty space
I wanna be so close to you, but I just don’t know how
So I pump that volume next to me ’til all my thoughts are drowned
My heart keeps growin’ bluer, and my lungs are turnin’ green
Still I can’t get you off my mind, it’s all those simple things
It’s every word you said to me, and every word you don’t
It’s when you’re sidled next to me that I feel most at home
And home is where the heart is, so my heart’s right there with you
In that dimly lit hotel room somewhere just right passed the moon
My heart keeps growin’ bluer, and my heads not where it seems
I just can’t get you off my mind, it’s all those simple things
It’s all the ways you look at me, and everything you do
In that dimly lit hotel room somewhere just right passed the moon
Yeah my heart keeps growin’ bluer everyday you’re not around
I still can’t dig you out my mind ‘cause you’re so underground
I just wanna be near you, and I don’t wanna come down
So I stick that needle on, and pump the volume on the sound
My heart keeps growin’ bluer, and my lungs are turnin’ green
Still I can’t get you off my mind, it’s all those simple things
It’s all the things you said to me, and everything that’s you
In that dimly lit hotel room somewhere just right passed the moon
