Keep It Simple
MATOMA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere in the darkness over yonder
Somewhere in the tall grass under cover
But I don't wanna feel that way again
I wanna go
Back to all those nights when we were driving home
No reason in the world that we can't take it slow
We're growing up fast
Oh, we're growing up fast
We're growing up too fast
Wanna keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple
I wanna keep it simple
We were young and in love
Two hearts in the fire
I wanna live like that
Gotta keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple
I wanna live like that
Gotta keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple
I wanna live like that
Gotta keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple
I wanna live like that
Gotta keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple
Take my hand
Walk with me for hours
We don't need a plan
We can do no wrong
At least we think we can't
I just wanna feel that way again
Yeah, we're growing up fast
Oh, we're growing up fast
Oh, we're growing up too fast
Wanna keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple
I wanna keep it simple
We were young and in love
Two hearts in the fire
I wanna live like that
Gotta keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple (simple)
I wanna live like that
Gotta keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple (simple)
I wanna live like that
Gotta keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple
I wanna keep it
I wanna keep it simple
We were young and in love
Two hearts in the fire
I wanna live like that
Gotta keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it simple
The lyrics of "Keep It Simple" by Matoma Petey featuring Wilder Woods are about the desire to return to the simplicity of their past relationship. The song acknowledges the inevitability of change and growing up, but it also expresses the sentiment that memories of happy times are something to cherish and to strive to recapture. The song's opening lines lament that their love was lost "somewhere in the darkness over yonder, somewhere in the tall grass under cover," indicating that their love was obscured by the complications of life. However, the chorus repeats the idea that they want to keep it simple and live "like that," referring to the time when they were "young and in love," and "two hearts in the fire." They want to hold onto the feeling of undiluted happiness and simplicity they experienced in the past.
The lyrics suggest that their desire to keep things simple is about more than just their relationship - it is about their outlook on life. They want a life that is unrestricted by rules and plans, where they can move freely and do things on a whim. The lines "We don't need a plan / We can do no wrong / At least we think we can't" reflect their desire for freedom and spontaneity. The overall message of the song is about not losing sight of the simple things in life, even as time passes and things change.

I just heard this song in an ad and was heart touched. It's been a long time since I heard a new song and thought, "Mansakes, this song is awesome........" Like seriously, since I saw Jason Mraz open for Alanis Morisette's acoustic Jagged Little Pill concert ages ago..... Thanks SO much for that. ❤❤❤
@-CBLadananKyleZenrickC
whats that ad???
@girlfromsouth214
@Kairu Ladanan I don't remember exactly. I think it was a hospital or some kind of health related ad. It was the acoustic version.
@wearebigbeat

@SVS2U01
The guy singing is the best! Wilder woods for the win.

@amydavis999
@@tracyp.5521 NEEDTOBREATHE is one of my all-time favorite bands and Bear is an insanely good vocalist. People see the wrong "popular" songs from them and they aren't interested afterward. You need to listen to just a few of his less popular songs to realize how good they are!!
