Peter Bjorn and John
Simple Song of Sin
[Verse 1]
Light is fading
Winter is calling, summer is falling down
Autumn shape my senses sharp
Like I'm feeling
All of the people, all that is painful now
And it's making this so hard

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What if the song I'm singin' just pretends?
Wrapped around the finger of contempt

[Chorus 1]
But I'm gonna change my tune
This shtick is wearin' thin
It's my voice
You dial and dig in, your choice
A simple song of sin

[Verse 2]
All the days that
Builds to a lifetime, looks swell in hindsight, but
Struggles in the present tense
Eyes wide open
All that you see can be hard to carry through
Into imagination
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Shadows growin' taller every night
Self-reflection smaller and uptight

[Chorus 2]
But I'm gonna drop that look
This shtick is wearin' thin
It's my voice
You dial and dig in, your choice
A simple song of sin

[Bridge]
When you're restless and easily upset
It's hard to forget to remember to forget

[Pre-Chorus 3]
What if the song you're singin' just pretends?
It's not even beginning and it never ends

[Chorus 3]
But I'm gonna change my tune
This shtick is wearin' thin
It's my voice
You dial and dig in, your choice
A simple song of sin
But I'm gonna drop that look
This shtick is wearin' thin
It's my voice
You dial and dig in, your choice
A simple song of sin
But I'm gonna drop that look
