The Simple Story

I woke up this afternoon when it was heavily raining. having a thought in mind to continue embrace this comfortable circumstance (oh i looove love love rains) and sleep, I checked my phone in case my boyfriend buzz me to chat. indeed he was! so instead of closing my eyes off, I chat with him which turned out he's busy with his design. losing my urge to get back into the dreamland, I started to shuffle my iTunes and here it is catching my attention to accompany this coziness, Feist & Jane Birkin - The Simple Story


from the beginning, I tell you, it is catchy! I had it quite long time ago but it never attracts me much like now. sometime it only needs a right time, a right lyric & rhyme (song) and a right feeling to complete a moment to feel.... sentimental. yeah that's one of my peculiar characteristic, easily being such a sentimental creature, nostalgic, weak, and whatnot. so it is a right time: rainy time, a right song, then what is the right feeling? I'll share you the lyrics, and even though it is not correlating exactly to my current mood, I find it genuinely representing my relationship or may be any relationship. We all fight, we all argue, we all lie.. and those all started from a simple story..


Feist & Jane Birkin - The Simple Story


The little thoughts came rushing in
Whilst I watched for a sign from him
When all the while was clear as day
That I should go and he should stay


I took his love like it was mine
I squeezed the truth until it lied
It took some time for cracks to show
Should I stay or should he go?


The simple story that you told me
Is a little different than what you showed me
The simple story unfurling slowly
Is if you lay down with a dream
You'll wake up lonely


The fog will cast a certain shade
So what you see is how what's made
it's mark will show you what to do
When hope pretends it's made you new


Love lied
Love lied
But I'm the reason
Love died


The simple story that you told me
Is a little different than what you showed me


The sky wraps 'round the mountaintops
The watch unwinds until it stops
Some things will always be the way they are
And that is how they'll stay


The simple story that you told me
Is a little different than what you showed me
The simple story unfurling slowly
Is if you lay down with a dream
You'll wake up lonely
