Lying here with you reminds me of those days

Me and Candice waking up to a heat wave

Mother's in the garden inviting everyone

Ooo, we'd cut off our old jeans and go outside.

Neighbour's always smiling with a baby on her knee

Rhea sat on the front step getting her hair combed out and greased

And music, the bass booming, pours from a car parked in the street

Got that new song on repeat.



I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you

I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you

Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from

I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things.



Growing up we didn't have a lot of money

Used to spend our summers having parties on the drive

Plastic cups for rum and punch, eating chicken that's hot and sweet

All the women discussing what love is like

Ooh you know the way I mean, and I'm just sitting watching hoping the boys will call for me

Got that new song on repeat.



I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you

I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you

Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from

I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things.



Maybe then, now and then, I will want somebody

Delicate, intimate, used to dream of someone to love

Now you come and you go right by me,

I know I'm in love



I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you

I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you

Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from

I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things

I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you

I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you

Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from

I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things
