Can I get up in the moming Put the kettle on Make us some coffee, say "hey" to the sun... Is it enough to write a song and sing it to the birds? They'd hear just the tune Not understand my love for words But you would hear me and know
I want only this, I want to live I want to live a simple life.
I dreamed you first But not so real And everyday since I've found you Such moments we steal Like little thieves, we rub our hands We hold our hearts between them. But will you hear me and know?
I want only this, I want to live I want to live a simple life.
Move on, move on Time is accelerating. Drive on all night Traffic lights and one-ways. Move on, move on Parking violations waiting Turn off the car, breathe the air Let's stay here.
I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time To know our neighbors all by name And every star at night. We'll weave our days together like waves And particles of light.
I want only this, I want to live I want to live a simple life.
