Everyone's talking about the little things you say
How I could be the one and where we're gonna stay
Funny how we could be on the same damn page
When All of these things I heard was never said to me

Body and mind

How did we dream that our love would never bloom
Why would we curse ourselves into unnecessary gloom
Maybe the universe was supposed to intervene
Give us vi...

"Will you go away with me
I never thought about the simple things

I enjoy just how rare it is ...
