Simple
People & Songs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One more second to think this through
All the lonely nights I spent
Casually waiting for you
And I didn't think
That you'd even remember at all
Talk about last July
And how I'm so
Go out for drinks
On Oxford Street
Get real drunk and stagger home
You'll meet my dogs
And my dogs will meet you
They might love you
But not half as much as I do
And I don't mean to put the pressure on
It's just kinda what I'm doing best right now
I always think it'll impress you to see
I'll be the only loser you need
The lyrics of People & Songs' song "Simple" convey a sense of longing and vulnerability in a relationship. The singer expresses their desire for just a little more time to think things through, indicating that they have spent many nights waiting for someone who may not have noticed or remembered their presence. The mention of last July and feeling lucky to be alive suggests that there may have been some significant event or hardship that has shaped their perspective.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of going out for drinks on Oxford Street, getting drunk, and bringing the person back home to meet the singer's dogs. This could symbolize a desire for intimacy and connection, wanting the person to become a part of their home and their life. The singer acknowledges their own vulnerability, admitting that they are putting pressure on themselves to impress the other person, possibly because they feel that being the person's only "loser" is a way to gain their affection.
Line by Line Meaning
I just need
I simply require
One more second to think this through
A brief moment to carefully consider
All the lonely nights I spent
The countless isolated evenings I endured
Casually waiting for you
Patiently anticipating your arrival
And I didn't think
I never imagined
That you'd even remember at all
That you would recall anything
Talk about last July
Discuss the events of the previous July
And how I'm so
And how I am incredibly
Lucky just to be alive
Fortunate merely to exist
Go out for drinks
Engage in social activities involving alcohol
On Oxford Street
In a location named Oxford Street
Get real drunk and stagger home
Consume excessive amounts of alcohol and struggle to walk home
You'll meet my dogs
You will encounter my pet canines
And my dogs will meet you
And my dogs will interact with you
They might love you
They may exhibit affection towards you
But not half as much as I do
But their fondness does not compare to mine
And I don't mean to put the pressure on
I do not intend to burden you
It's just kinda what I'm doing best right now
It is simply the manner in which I am excelling at present
I always think it'll impress you to see
I perpetually believe it will amaze you to witness
I'll be the only loser you need
I will be the sole individual you require despite being a failure

[Instrumental]
[Verse 1: Melanie Tierce]
Father, I come
My words are few
Like a child, I reach out
Just to be with You now
[Verse 2: Melanie Tierce]
You've held nothing back
In steady pursuit
A story composed
To bring me back home
[Pre-Chorus: Melanie Tierce]
You say, "It's already done"
The war for my heart is won
[Chorus: Melanie Tierce]
It's really that simple
The way that You love me
It's not complicated
I simply receive
It's really that simple
The way that You love me
It's not complicated
I simply receive
[Verse 2: Melanie Tierce]
You've held nothing back
In steady pursuit
A story composed
To bring me back home
[Pre-Chorus: Melanie Tierce & Ryan Kennedy]
You say, "It's already done"
The war for my heart is won
[Chorus: Melanie Tierce & Ryan Kennedy]
It's really that simple
The way that You love me
It's not complicated
I simply receive
It's really that simple
The way that You love me
It's not complicated
I simply receive
[Interlude]
[Bridge: Melanie Tierce & Ryan Kennedy]
And I don't need to strive
For what's already mine
You're already mine
And I don't need to strive
For what's already mine
You're already mine
And I don't need to strive
For what's already mine
You're already mine
And I don't need to strive
For what's already mine
You're already mine
[Chorus: Melanie Tierce & Ryan Kennedy]
It's really that simple
The way that You love me
It's not complicated
I simply receive
It's really that simple
The way that You love me
It's not complicated
I simply receive
[Chorus - : Melanie Tierce]
It's really that simple
The way that You love me
It's not complicated
I simply receive
It's really that simple
The way that You love me
It's not complicated
I simply receive

It’s so crazy how the love of God is so simple, 😳 yet to me it feels so big and crazy sometimes I try not to overthink it. ❤️ I love this song, it gives peace to the spirit

I’m a giver and it’s hard for me to accept something free but I’m learning to accept His love is towards me with no motive

Praise God! Amen! The most profound, loving and relentless pursuit of the God of all the universe is that simple. He paid it all. If we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth and receive the gift we are reconciled to the father. Phil 4:7
Marie Cribbs
His love is soooooo simple, but we try to make it hard to believe and receive. I'm so thankful that His love comes with no strings and conditions attached. We are the ones, sadly, who add all the extras to the purest love ever. He not only has love, He is love
