lyrics

if you could live inside a perfect place
would you be happy if you could live at a slower pace
or would you find a way to show that attitude
always stressing out because you think you have to

and i know that you are serious
it's in your eyes you are delirious
you believe it's too mysterious
for you to simply live a simple life

you balance the world while making homemade bread
you can walk a tightrope while making sure that all is fed
you can entertain guests and help the homeless too
everyone is wondering if there is more that you can do

if i were you i think i'd have a heart attack
i can see the pressure of your world is now heavy on your back
i had a dream of a sunny place that made us warm
but you set sail searching for a complicated raging storm

and i know that you are serious
it's in your eyes you are delirious
you believe it's too mysterious
for you to simply live a simple life

you've got the green light but you don't know where to go
dry land surrounds you but you're somehow stranded in the snow
the mind of a genius but you don't know what you know
know what you know

love
it's only love
there's no need to be so serious

if i could give you a perfect day
would you hold it close or would you throw it away
is it too much to ask for you to settle down
is it too less of a life to get your feet back on the ground
i gave you simple words that never won your heart
you gave me god and guilt that tore my simple life apart
and as you pray to the man who lives up in your sky
i humbly bow out of this fight to you both i say goodbye

and i know that you are serious
it's in your eyes you are delirious
you believe it's too mysterious
for you to simply live a simple life

you've got the green light but you don't know where to go
dry land surrounds you but you're somehow stranded in the snow
the mind of a genius but you don't know what you know
know what you know

love
it's only love
there's no need to be so serious
and i know that you are serious
it's in your eyes you are delirious
you believe it's too mysterious
for you to simply live a simple life
