Simple
Cherub Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eternally on the run, uh
From everyone
Don't wanna live too fast
Or die too young, uh huh

But now that I'm buzzed
And soon to be fucked
I just want to live it up, OH
With the ones I love

And simple minds
Lead to simple lives
And, simple lives
Make more sense sometimes

Cause I don't want
Any stress in mind
That's why I push it out
To the side
To the side





Oh, oh oooooh
