Simple
The Keys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Yeah)
(Mm, yeah)

It would be
It would be, it would be so simple

What it is, ain't what it was
What should it be when it comes to you, and
How it seems ain't how it is
There's been a change when it comes to me and

Oh baby, you
Oh baby, me
Oh maybe, we
Can try another day, another way

All in my mind
I'm wondering why
We cannot find what was left at the beginning

If I could
Meet you again
Kiss you again
Kiss you again
(It would be, it would be so simple)

'Cause I would love you again
Hold you again
Need you again
(It would be, it would be)
(Could it be, could it be so simple?)

Now, it's hardly simple
It's just simply hard
When it comes to you and
I find myself not being myself
Just to avoid all this confrontation with

Oh baby, you
Oh baby, me
Oh maybe, we
Can put this armor down and settle down

Oh, it's off track
That is a fact
Can we get it back
Get it back to the beginning? If I could

(Meet you again)
(Kiss you again)
(Kiss you again)
(It would be, it would be so simple)

'Cause I would
Love you again
Hold you again
Need you again
(It would be, it would
Could it be, could it be so simple)

(Don't you know that it would be)
(Don't you know that it would be)
(Don't you know that it would be)
It would be
It would be
It, it would be
It would be

(Meet you again)
(Kiss you again)
(Kiss you again)
(It would be, it would be so simple)

'Cause I would
Love you again
Hold you again
Need you again
(It would be, it would be)
(Could it be, could it be so simple?)

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, we got the up rock
Do it like this, don't stop




Yeah, we got it going now
Now it's right on

Awesome and thanks for the video!

@zrxnuts

My security tape was already falling off. Not very secure. Good video. Thanks

@scottloftin1730

I spoke with a technician at Express Key, Cole. He walked me through the entire process. This product did not work for my stock 2015 Ram 1500. I dont have any aftermarket electronics. Shipped it back to Amazon.

Time is money and I wasted a bunch of both. Pain in the butt!

@sameerbhardwaj7596

(2016 Ram) Worked for me!

@darinslemp5856

Thank you great video

@stevenjackson8002

My key still works in the ignition but the buttons on my key fob stopped working will this kit work for me or does my original key fob buttons have to still be working know order for me to program a new key?

@gerrypineau

i'm not really sure. It could be that it is just the buttons are worn down and not making good contact. This kit comes with one blank key and a rubber set of buttons to replace the worn buttons on your old key fob

@jwill3002
