lyrics

Her eyes are too wide for a city girl
but she was downtown born and raised
Don't even try to surprise her
but she can be easily amazed
She's seen enough, she oughta be jaded
but she still feels all that she can
And she's clever enough to be all complicated
but she's easy enough to understand

She's simple like a circle
Simple like a smile
Kisses like a grownup
and loves me like a child
After all this time I've been running away
she makes it so, so simple to stay

It's easy to start her laughing
She can't hold anything inside
And it's easy to bring the tears to her eyes
but it's hard to imagine that anyone would try

She's simple like a circle
Simple like a smile
Kisses like a grownup
and loves me like a child
After all this time I've been running away
She makes it so, so simple to stay

And when the light falls on the Chrysler building right
she can be glad about it
Through the day into the night
Well i guess you'd call that simple right?

She's simple like a circle
Simple like a smile
Kisses like a grownup
and dreams like a child
Simple like a love song
Simple like a ring
She might get the words wrong but she's gonna sing
She's simple like an ocean
Simple like sigh
She'll tell you a story but she can't tell a lie
There's nobody like her
so why would i run away?
She makes it so, so simple to stay.
