lyrics

the beauty in our moments of simplicity

there is beauty in those moments
sometimes it’s not about being clever
there is beauty in those words

not in what I told you or what you told me but
beauty in those lines secretly sung

I told you I told you what I would do
but what does it matter
you told me you told me you don’t talk about it anyway

so, who knows what the worst moments of their lives were
or what does that mean

but there is beauty in those moments
that are certainly not the worst of our lives
there is beauty in those moments
cause sometimes it’s simply not about being clever
there is beauty in those words

not in what I told you or what you told me but
beauty in those lines secretly sung 

if I could sing about beauty
instead of forgotten conversations
if I could sing about the beauty
in those rare moments of simplicity

if I could I would
if I could I would

but I told youI told you what I would do
we both know it does not matter
I told you I told you and it does not
does not include being clever
