Simple Things

You put on that makeup, spend an hour on your hair

High heels and that red dress with a slit right up to there

And I don't mind

But sweats, a ponytail, and smile suit me just fine

You'll get in the kitchen, make a meal fit for a king

Burn your hands and cut your fingers just to feed me, girl

And I appreciate

But I'd equally praise a sandwich that you made

You can search your whole life, never to find

What's standing right in front of you

It's always the simple things, the way you laugh

It's the way you cry to your favorite song

Life is all the in-betweens, the flowers you find

On the uphill climb that keep you movin' on

And after you stop chasing

Is when you find out all that really made sense

Is the simple things

It's always the simple things

Head up in the clouds, so many nights out on the road

To come to the conclusion that there ain't no place like home

I took some pretty pictures and I made some memories

But there's one truth that still amazes me

It's always the simple things, the way you laugh

It's the way you cry to your favorite song

Life is all the in-betweens, the flowers you find

On the uphill climb that keep you movin' on

And after you stop chasing

Is when you find out all that really made sense

It's the little things (oh) and the big dreams (oh)

All the unseens (oh) looking back at me (oh)

It's the long talks (oh) and the quiet drives (oh)

And the slow walks, that's when you realize

It's always the simple things

Always the simple things, ay

It's always the simple things (hey), the way you laugh (whoa)

It's the way you cry to your favorite song

Life is all the in-betweens (in-betweens, hey), the flowers you find (hey)

On the uphill climb that keep you movin' on (whoa)

And after you stop chasing (stop chasing)

Is when you find out all that really made sense

Is the simple things (ooh)

It's always the simple things

Oh-oh

It's always the simple things, yeah
