Well this is just a simple song 
To say what you've done
 I told you about all those fears And away they did run
 You sure must be strong 
When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun 
 When I was just nine years old 
I swear that I dreamt 
Your face on a football field
 And a kiss that I kept 
Under my vest; 
Apart from everything 
But the heart in my chest 

 I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone 
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and bleed like a stone
 Could be there’s nothing else in our lives, so critical
 As this little home 

 My life in an upturned boat
 Marooned on a cliff 
You brought me a great big flood 
And you gave me a lift 
Girl, what a gift! 
You tell me with your tongue And your breath was in my lungs
 And we float up through the rift 

 I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone 
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and bleed like a stone
 Could be there's nothing else in our lives, so critical 
As this little home 

 Well this would be a simple song
 To say what you've done 
I told you about all those fears
 And away they did run 
You sure must be strong
 When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun 

 Remember walking a mile to your house
 Aglow in the dark 
I made a fumbling play for your heart 
And the act struck a spark 
You wore a charm on the chain that I stole 
Especial for you
 Love's such a delicate thing that we do
 With nothing to prove
 Which I never knew
