The Simple Truth
Tsunami Bomb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you all the time
And when life is getting rough
I imagine us sharing our whole lives.
We could run away
Leave behind anything paper
Not knowing where we're going to stay
You're part of me, it's so easy to see.
The simple truth
When I'm in your arms, I feel safe from harm
And sorrow too
You're part of me, it's so easy to see.
The simple truth
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved
When I'm with you
That memory of your smile
Pierces through the dark when I go to bed alone.
And when I'm about to fall apart
I remember your open arms
Waiting for me to come home.
Let's create our own world
Made of trust, simple and honest
I'll sing a song you've never ever heard
No one else can hear
You're part of me, it's so easy to see.
The simple truth
When I'm in your arms, I feel safe from harm
And sorrow too
You're part of me, it's so easy to see.
The simple truth
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved
When I'm with you
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved
When I'm with you
(Repeat 'til end)]

Even though I'm always gone
Just because I'm not physically present, it doesn't mean I don't think about you constantly.
Doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you all the time
In fact, I am always thinking of you, no matter where I am.
And when life is getting rough
During tough times,
I imagine us sharing our whole lives.
I envision us together in the long term, through it all.
We could run away
We could leave everything behind, start fresh.
Leave behind anything paper
We wouldn't worry about material possessions.
Not knowing where we're going to stay
Our future may be uncertain, but we'd face it together.
Theres no monday.
We wouldn't be constrained by a regular routine.
You're part of me, it's so easy to see.
You are an integral part of who I am.
The simple truth
This is the undeniable truth.
When I'm in your arms, I feel safe from harm
Being with you provides me with a feeling of safety and comfort.
And sorrow too
You bring me solace even during times of sadness.
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved
Above all else, there is nothing that we couldn't overcome.
When I'm with you
As long as we are together.
That memory of your smile
Remembering the joy and happiness that your smile brings.
Pierces through the dark when I go to bed alone.
Even when I am feeling lonely, the memory of your smile brings light.
And when I'm about to fall apart
During moments of emotional instability,
I remember your open arms
I think of the way you embrace and support me.
Waiting for me to come home.
Anticipating my return, always there for me.
Let's create our own world
Together, we can make a reality that is uniquely ours.
Made of trust, simple and honest
Our world will be built on a foundation of trust and honesty.
I'll sing a song you've never ever heard
I will always surprise you and add to the joy in our lives.
No one else can hear
Our love and connection is special and unique to us.
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved
No matter what challenges we may encounter,
When I'm with you
As long as we are together, we can overcome anything.
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved
This is the simple truth - as long as we are together, there is nothing we can't work through.
When I'm with you
Being by your side is everything to me.
