Simple


I know what you want

you think it's that easy for me

but I didn't come here tonight

to make my mind up by three


tequilla shots are the way

you try and get in my head

but i still chose all these words

so nothing dirty gets said


I know my body looks young

it's cause I like to move slow

there's too many stops on this road

and I'm not ready to go


there's no prize tonight

for whomever gets my hand

no I haven't lost romance

just don't wanna take it for granted

I'll take you home to my room

and maybe just look at the view

it's beautiful from up here

and nobody else can hurt you


I tell you I'm happy

and wonder if it's just a line

I put on for shows and at parties

so everyone thinks that I'm fine


perceptions all started out naked

and when I dress them in lies

they wanna believe that it's truth

and then they become the disguise


I wanted your arms to just take me

and slow my thoughts down to you

but I don't know which ones the fake me

a boy in love or boy blue


there's no prize tonight

for whomever gets my hand

no I haven't lost romance

just don't wanna take it for granted

I'll take you home to my room

and maybe just look at the view

it's beautiful from up here

and nobody else can hurt you


I know what you want

you think it's that easy for me

but I didn't come here tonight

to make my mind up by three
