I cannot find the time I think it's passing me by
Lost in a dream hung-up in the sky
Oh, the simple things in life, always make me cry
So, hang me up try to dry I'll be waitin' here in line
Oh, the new cool came to town and swept me beneath the rug
And all the school kids compete to take the magic mix of drugs
While my songs are soft as satin, sweet as kissing, making love
But they cannot hear me sigh through bloodshot eyes or blown ear drums...
I look around, put on my coat, I slip a smoke behind my ear
I grab my moccasins and go, hope I'm not late, hope but don't fear
Cause I know everything's alright, everything will be just fine
I learned it best, from Marley and Morissette
I haven't figured it all out, but who really has it?
Always do your best, and when you make your mind up, don't fret on it
Oh the simple things, the simple things in life
They always make me cry. They always make me cry
Oh, the simple things, the simple things, the simple things in life
They always make me cry, cry...
