blast from the past song lyrics
JUST BE SIMPLE
by: Songs: Ohia
You’ll never hear me talk about
one day getting out.
Why put a new address
on the same old loneliness.
Everybody knows where that is.
We built that house of his
and when he’s not home,
Someone else we know always is.
If Heaven’s really coming back
I hope it has a heart attack
When they see how dangerous
it is for guys like that
And the night has always known
when it’s time to get going
When it’s really been so long
that it starts showing
It’s always had that ghost who always almost
tells me the secret.
How there’s really no difference
in who he was once,
and who he’s become
I think he’s been letting me win
And I think he’s doing it again
Thanks for letting me win
And everything you hated me for,
Honey there was so much more.
I just didn’t get busted.
I ain’t looking for that easy way out
This whole life it’s been about
Try and try and try
And try and try and try
To be simple again
