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
