Simple Life
Megan & Liz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traded fireflies for every headlight that I see
The country roads that raised me, I see them now but as a memory
Everything's good, everything's fine
It's somebody's home but it'll never be mine
You and me riding round in the Chevy
It's all I've ever known, when I don't know where to go
Got no jobs and we got no money,
Got no cares, when we hit the ground running
Nothing but summer sky
Just living that simple life
All this sunshine, I'm just wishin' it would rain
A thousand faces, but not one of them knows my name
Cause I
Say goodbye to what feels right, football games on a Friday night
Everything's good, everything's fine
It's somebody's home but it'll never be mine
You and me riding round in the Chevy
Two green lights and we're outta the city
It's all I've ever known, when I don't know where to go
Got no jobs and we got no money,
Got no cares, when we hit the ground running
Nothing but summer sky
Just living that simple life
Just like the seasons change, I know things'll never be the same
I'd give it all just to feel that way again
When it was you and me riding round in the Chevy
Two green lights and we're outta the city
It's all I've ever known, when I don't know where to go
Got no jobs and we got no money,
Got no cares, when we hit the ground running
Nothing but summer sky
Just living that simple life
You and me riding round in the Chevy
Two green lights and we're outta the city
It's all I've ever known, when I don't know where to go
Got no jobs and we got no money,
Got no cares, when we hit the ground running
Nothing but summer sky
Just living that simple life
I'd leave this all behind,
To just live that simple life
In Megan & Liz's song Simple Life, the lyrics describe a longing for a simpler time and way of living. The singer reminisces about the country roads that raised them, but they now only exist as a memory. The late nights don't hold the same magic they once did, as the singer has traded fireflies for car headlights. They are surrounded by people but feel anonymous as no one knows their name. They have said goodbye to what feels right and long to live the simple life they once knew.
The song evokes a sense of nostalgia for a past that cannot be relived, but the singer longs for it nonetheless. The chorus of the song emphasizes the desire to return to a carefree existence, without the burden of jobs, money, and responsibility. The imagery of riding around in a Chevy under a summer sky reinforces this idyllic vision of simplicity.
Overall, the song expresses a universal longing for a time and place that can never be fully recaptured. It is a yearning for a simpler life, free from the complexities and stresses of modern living.
Line by Line Meaning
Yeah, these late nights aren't what they used to be
Late nights don't feel the same as they used to in the past
Traded fireflies for every headlight that I see
Exchanged the beauty of natural phenomenon like fireflies with the commonness of city headlight
The country roads that raised me, I see them now but as a memory
Thinking of the country roads where I grew up, they only exist as memories now
Everything's good, everything's fine
Things appear to be stable and alright
It's somebody's home but it'll never be mine
Although it is a place where someone calls home, it will never be my home
You and me riding round in the Chevy
I am with someone driving around in a Chevy
Two green lights and we're outta the city
Once two green lights appear, we are leaving the city
It's all I've ever known, when I don't know where to go
This is familiar territory when I'm lost and don't know where else to go
Got no jobs and we got no money
We are unemployed and broke
Got no cares, when we hit the ground running
We don't have any worries or responsibilities and are ready to take action when necessary
Nothing but summer sky
The only thing in sight is the clear blue summer sky
Just living that simple life
We are just living an easy and straightforward life
All this sunshine, I'm just wishin' it would rain
Despite are the positivity, I wish for a change in events
A thousand faces, but not one of them knows my name
Even though there are many people around, I am still unknown
Say goodbye to what feels right, football games on a Friday night
Leaving behind what feels normal, such as attending football games on a Friday evening
Just like the seasons change, I know things'll never be the same
Just as the seasons change, things will always be different and not the same as before
I'd give it all just to feel that way again
I would give up everything to feel the way I did before
I'd leave this all behind, to just live that simple life
I would give up everything to return to the simple life
