Simple
Dj Jinnai / Hikaru Utada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said no
I don't think life is quite that simple
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
(So simple and clean, baby)
The daily things
(like this and that and what, what)
That keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said
"Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe somethings are that simple"
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
In Dj Jinnai / Hikaru Utada's song Simple & Clean, the lyrics revolve around a heartfelt plea from someone to their significant other not to leave them. From the very first line, "When you walk away, you don't hear me say please. Oh baby, don't go," the desperation is palpable. The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go." This line means that the person staying with them is making them feel happy and whole, but that it's still hard to let go of them.
In the middle of the song, the lyrics reference the complexities of a relationship, with lines such as "Don't get me wrong, I love you. But does that mean I have to meet your father?" This stanza represents the fact that while relationships may be simple on an emotional level, real life has a more complicated reality. Later in the song, the lyrics shift again to focus on the unknown future, with the lines "Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all. Nothing's like before."
Overall, the song seems to be a love song with a message of holding onto what we have, acknowledging the complexities of relationships, and facing the future without fear.

Nothing's like before
My life has changed for the better since I met you
