Uncomplicated
Joe Bachman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the simple inner smile, the untamed inner wild
She doesn't even try, but her sunshine pulls you in
She's easy like a kiss, she can't hide who she is
Needs you like a lover and she wants you like a friend
She's as graceful as the moonlight on the water
And now I just can't see myself without her

She's a downpour in the desert
Makes each day a little better
So absolutely underrated
She's Sunday Morning faithful, I'm so grateful
Yeah, she makes loving her so uncomplicated

She'll give it to you straight and give more than she takes
She's a heart-wide-open dreamer with her feet on solid ground
She's dinner and a dance, a once-in-a-lifetime chance
And God forbid if I should ever let her down

She's the first snow in December
She's the one that you'll remember
So absolutely underrated
She's Sunday Morning faithful, I'm so grateful
Yeah she makes loving her so uncomplicated

She's as graceful as the moonlight on the water
And now I just can't see myself without her

She's a downpour in the desert
Makes each day a little better
So absolutely underrated




She's Sunday Morning faithful, I'm so grateful
Yeah, she makes loving her so uncomplicated
