Lyrics
Find another songYou put on that makeup, spend an hour on your hair
High heels and that red dress with a slit right up to there
And I don't mind
But sweats, a ponytail, and smile suit me just fine
You'll get in the kitchen, make a meal fit for a king
Burn your hands and cut your fingers just to feed me, girl
And I appreciate
But I'd equally praise a sandwich that you made
You can search your whole life, never to find
What's standing right in front of you
It's always the simple things, the way you laugh
It's the way you cry to your favorite song
Life is all the in-betweens, the flowers you find
On the uphill climb that keep you movin' on
And after you stop chasing
Is when you find out all that really made sense
Is the simple things
It's always the simple things
Head up in the clouds, so many nights out on the road
To come to the conclusion that there ain't no place like home
I took some pretty pictures and I made some memories
But there's one truth that still amazes me
It's always the simple things, the way you laugh
It's the way you cry to your favorite song
Life is all the in-betweens, the flowers you find
On the uphill climb that keep you movin' on
And after you stop chasing
Is when you find out all that really made sense
It's the little things (oh) and the big dreams (oh)
All the unseens (oh) looking back at me (oh)
It's the long talks (oh) and the quiet drives (oh)
And the slow walks, that's when you realize
It's always the simple things
Always the simple things, ay
It's always the simple things (hey), the way you laugh (whoa)
It's the way you cry to your favorite song
Life is all the in-betweens (in-betweens, hey), the flowers you find (hey)
On the uphill climb that keep you movin' on (whoa)
And after you stop chasing (stop chasing)
Is when you find out all that really made sense
Is the simple things (ooh)
It's always the simple things
Oh-oh
It's always the simple things, yeah
