Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
There's so much weighin' on my brain
And I tend to overcomplicate
Let's try to entertain a different point of view
Wanna get back to the simple things with you
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Maybe we should stay
'Cause I don't want to leave
What if we forget what matters most?
Do we really have to go?
[Verse 6]
There's so much weighin' on my brain
And I tend to overcomplicate
Let's try to entertain a different point of view
Wanna get back to the simple things with you
[Verse 7]
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
Wanna get back to the simple things with you
[Verse 8]
So darling, may I, may I, may I have this dance?
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
[Verse 9]
There's so much weighin' on my brain
And I tend to overcomplicate
Let's try to entertain a different point of view
Want to get back to the simple things with you
[Verse 10]
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
