simple times
Kacey Musgraves Lyrics

Every day felt like Friday
Life used to be fun and carefree with no restrictions or worries.

Walking to the 7-Eleven
Going out for snacks and junk food with friends.

Me and all of my best friends
Spending time with the closest friends and cherishing their company.

We were always together
Hanging out and making memories or doing things together all the time.

I remember talking on the phone all night
Having long conversations on the phone until we fall asleep.

Didn't know it was a simple time
Knowing how precious and uncomplicated those moments were only in retrospect.

Wish that I could put this game on pause
Wanting to escape from the present reality and responsibilities, just for a while.

Skip this round, take the headset off
Choosing to opt-out of the current difficulties, at least for a moment.

Put my lip gloss on
Returning to simpler times when getting dolled up was fun and a priority.

Kick it at the mall like there's nothing wrong
Hanging out aimlessly, without worrying about life's complications.

I need to step away
Feeling the need to take a break from one's current life.

If I don't, I'm gonna go insane
Feeling like the present situation is pushing them to their breaking point.

'Cause being grown up kind of sucks
Realizing how stressful and complicated adult life can be.

And I'm really just missing the simple times, uh huh
Longing for days when life was less complicated and more enjoyable.

I think I'm going off of the deep end
Feeling overwhelmed with life's problems and complexities.

I wanna wake up on an island
Desiring to escape completely and end up on a deserted island.

Throw everybody a peace sign
Wanting to forget about everything and live peacefully, at least for a bit.

Put all the static on silent
Yearning for a world without noise or complications.

We could stay up all night
Having the freedom to stay up and chat all night without worrying about responsibilities.

Pour one out for the simple times
Reminiscing about the old days and acknowledging how beautiful and simple they were.

There's nothing really going on
Presently feeling bored, uninspired and unexcited about life.

But I heard about a rager
Hearing about a party, but not concerned enough to attend.

I won't be waiting by the phone
Not in a rush to hear anything significant or fun.

So you can hit me on the pager
Casually communicating through an outdated method of communication.

Put my high-tops on
Returning to a time when getting dressed up in casual wear was the perfect outing.

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah
An expression signifying the end of the song.
