[ti:Simple Story]
[ar:The Cribs]
[00:02.84]I know it's a simple story
[00:05.91]But where you gonna hear another one just like this
[00:10.53]Another minute passing waiting 'round for something to hit
[00:16.26]And then I start to exist when you were looking for me
[00:21.74]Why'd I have to leave and make you thought I'd run
[00:26.06]Maybe I need to be on something
[00:29.33]To figure out just what all this means to me
[00:33.88]I should have played her something
[00:37.06]Should a said something then
[00:39.69]But it's too late
[00:41.53]I know it's a simple story
[00:44.73]Gonna have to be a man someday
[00:49.19]Let's start a vicious cycle
[00:52.62]Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass
[00:56.96]But then I disappear and I show up a few days later
[01:02.78]With my foot in a trap
[01:04.72]But it's only my heart that's bleeding
[01:08.01]I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands
[01:12.53]That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind
[01:18.17]And heard the beat of the band
[01:20.24]I know I give no reason to give me something old
[01:26.10]Or give me something new
[01:28.13]Why do I even need this
[01:31.31]Gonna have to do what I need to
[01:35.71]Just like a teenage summer
[01:38.94]The sun beats down and cracks the flags left and right
[01:43.42]But it's not just the heat
[01:46.22]My body and my head are full of things
[01:49.09]That keep me up on a night
[01:51.25]Like it's only time and distance
[01:54.46]You're in a black box and I can't even wait outside
[01:58.92]You'll just have to tell me about it
[02:02.30]Gonna have to sleep
[02:04.98]It's too light
[02:07.10]
[02:22.11]Let's start a vicious cycle
[02:25.51]Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass
[02:29.81]But then I disappear and I show up a few days later
[02:35.66]With my foot in a trap
[02:37.63]But it's only my heart that's bleeding
[02:40.93]I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands
[02:45.39]That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind
[02:51.08]And heard the beat of the band
[02:53.15]I know it's just a feeling
[02:56.41]Shouldn't even have these thoughts
[02:58.90]But it's too late
[03:00.88]I know it's a simple story
[03:03.98]Gonna have to be a man someday
