The Simple Things (Original Song)

I wrote this in February of 2010 but never had a chance to record it until now. Want to know a little secret? This song makes me really sleepy... lol.

Lyrics:

There's a basket of bows on my table top,
A shirt full of holes that I found from the corner shop.
I like my lattes cold.
I wanna touch snow.
The simple things, I like the simple things.
A red balloon, and its invisible wings.
I wanna fly.

Pre-Chorus:
I feel like standin' in the middle of the ocean.
I'm not gonna care about the salt in my hair.
Maybe I'm dreamin' in a world where no one's sleepin',
But I don't mind. I was never that kind.

Chorus:
I'll sing a lullaby, lullaby, lullaby, lullaby.
I'll sing another lullaby, a lullaby.
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby, lullaby,
I'll sing another lullaby, a lullaby.

There are times when I think the moon eats too much.
Then I'd wish the sandman would come and bring some dust,
To keep me from wakin' up, oh, oh, oh.
I enjoy the smell of sweet honey tea and the sound of a baby asleep,
I'm on a high.

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby, lullaby,
I'll sing another lullaby, a lullaby.

@pinkgreen111 ah, I see. well, I think you're very cute too, I hope one day I'll meet you and say, "Hey you're that simple girl!" and even though you may be slightly offended, you will have to sing the song for me live. Good deal? :D

Now, I'm gonna get some sand and put it over my eyes to get some magical dreams. If I wake up blind though, it'll be your fault!

ps. your favorite colors are pink and green. Am I good or what?

@topikamew Hahaha, your questions /comments were so funny & cute that I just had to reply! First of all, thank you for liking the song! And secondly, "There are times when I think the moon eats too much" means that there are times when I see that the moon is full (you know, the full moons come out). And the sandman is pretty much a mythological character (like the tooth fairy) who is supposed to sprinkle magical sand onto your eyes while you sleep so you can have good dreams!

[topikamew]

and... the moon eats too much? hope you're not referring to yourself cuz it looks like you don't eat enough.

Also, who's the sandman and what kind of dust is he bringing you to keep you from wakin' up?

[topikamew]

Wow. I thought this song sounded familiar, and then found out it's your original? again, wow.

This song is so.. soothing and I love the melody, and I love it that you're playing piano as you're singing this song. It's such a wonderful tune, I like x1000!

Especially the part you go "oh, oh, oh" with some attitude and then a slight smile-- brings a smile on my face :)

[ayyyhasss]

Have you ever thought about the possibility of releasing your songs in public?I think the world needs desperately artists who open their souls before writing a song.
