lyrics

A Simple Life
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2013).

There was a time
I didn’t need an answer
All the questions were enough for me

But you have a smile
That makes my mind wander
Creating stories that may one day be
A simple life with just you and me
All conjured up and waiting patiently

For you to make up your mind
All the time that’s gone by wasted
The simple truth that would have saved us
Just make up your mind
And I’m starting to believe
That some things aren’t meant to be

I’ll never know
The world from your perspective
Or what it’s like to wake up next to you
I hope I find
Someone with your hearts reflection
Until then, they’re all shadows of you
Tagging along until I find someone new
I just can’t wait
Any longer for you

To make up your mind
All the time that’s gone by wasted
The simple truth that would have saved us
Just make of your mind
And there’s so much left to say
But in silence I remain
Until you make up your mind.
And I’m starting to see
That some things aren’t meant to be

And there’s so much left to say
But in silence I remain
Til you make up your mind.
