Late night in the city and I'm outside
Out with my friends on a joy ride
Sit on the hill in the nighttime
Short words and we all getting sky-high
And we all assume
Things will always be this way
Living being young
Memories are here to stay
But we never could have saw this coming
Maybe it's some kind of twisted fate
The memories feel like nothing
Now we all appreciate
Here and now and also then
What we had and when we'll get there again
Me and her, Jack and Jill
All of us sitting on the hill
Simple things and simple friends
Not counting cases and counting deaths
I want it now, and I want it bad
All I want is the simple things back
Staying up late
Making bad choices
Thinking out so loud
You can hear the noises
Talking bout life
That's miles down the road
We were driving there so fast
Now it feels so slow
This time is a road block
But now we can think
Grab a cup of water
Get a quick drink
We can really plan ahead
Instead of running in blind
You know we been doing that
And wasting our time
I wish I could turn back time
Cuz right now things are getting tough
But that ain't possible
So ill just have to learn to love
Here and now and also then
What we had and when we'll get there again
Me and her, Jack and Jill
All of us sitting on the hill
Simple things and simple friends
Not counting cases and counting deaths
I want it now, and I want it bad
All I want is the simple things back
All I really want is the simple things back now
All I really want is the simple things back now
All I really want is the simple things back now
All I really want, all I really want now
All I really want is the simple things back now
All I really want is the simple things back now
All I really want is the simple things back now
All I really want, all I really want now
I miss all the risky text sending
How are we supposed to get our happy ending
We ain't living in a fairy tale
Na its real life now that ship has sailed
But that don't mean that our story is over
Maybe we'll just resume in the cold of October
But I guess we'll have to wait and see
But in the meantime ill just sing
All I really want is the simple things back now
All I really want is the simple things back now
All I really want is the simple things back now
All I really want, all I really want now
Here and now and also then
What we had and when we'll get there again
Me and her, Jack and Jill
All of us sitting on the hill
Simple things and simple friends
Not counting cases and counting deaths
I want it now, and I want it bad
All I want is the simple things back
