[Verse 1: Christina Perri]
Thinkin' about the night I first met you
Yeah, we were younger then
It all felt so new
We talk about building a house, so tall
Thought we had nothin' then
But damn, we had it all

[Pre-Chorus: Christina Perri]
But life got in the way
Cause time has got a way
Of making you forget what matters most
But that's just how it goes

[Chorus: Christina Perri]
There's so much weighin' on my brain
And I tend to overcomplicate
Let's try to entertain a different point of view
I wanna get back to the simple things with you

[Verse 2: Alexander Cardinale]
You love the ocean, why don't we just go?
Kick off your shoes and feel the sand under your toes
Wait for the stars so I can watch you glow
Just can't stop looking, cause you're so damn beautiful
[Pre-Chorus: Christina Perri, Alexander Cardinale, & Both]
Maybe we should stay
Cause I don't want to leave
What if we forget what matters most?
Do we really have to go?

[Chorus: Christina Perri & Alexander Cardinale]
There's so much weighin' on my brain
And I tend to overcomplicate
Let's try to entertain a different point of view
I wanna get back to the simple things with you

[Post-Chorus: Christina Perri & Alexander Cardinale]
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do, do
I, I, I
Want to get back to the simple things with you

[Bridge: Christina Perri & Alexander Cardinale]
So darling, may I, may I
May I have this dance with you?
Drink every single, drop of, life inside the glass
Why don't we lay right here
And waste a day or two?
When I get back to the simple things with you
[Chorus: Christina Perri, Alexander Cardinale, & Both]
There's so much weighin' on my brain
And I tend to overcomplicate
Let's try to entertain a different point of view
When I get back to the simple things with you

[Post-Chorus: Christina Perri & Alexander Cardinale]
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do, do
I, I, I

[Outro: Christina Perri & Alexander Cardinale & Alexander Cardinale]
Want to get back to the simple things with you (You, ooh)
Want to get back to the simple things with you
Want to get back to the simple things with you
Want to get back to the simple things with you
