"Just Be Simple" lyrics

"Just Be Simple"
(originally by Magnolia Electric Co.)

You'll never hear me talk about one day getting out
Why put a new address on the same old loneliness?
Everybody knows where that is
We built that house of his
And when he's not home
Someone else we know always is

If Heaven's really coming back
Hope it has a heart attack
When they see how dangerous it is for a guy like that

And the night has always known when it's time to get going
When it's really been so long that it starts showing
It's always how that goes, always almost
Tells me the secret
And how there's really no difference
In who he was once
And who he's become
I think he's been letting me win
Think he's doing it again
Thanks for letting me win

And everything you hated me for
Honey, there was so much more

I just didn't get busted
I just didn't get busted

I ain't looking for an easy way out
This whole life has been about
Try and try and try
Try and try and try
To be simple again

Just be simple again
Just be simple again
