A Simple Life - Philip Selway

Above the traffic noise and fights

Can you hear me

I’m standing right next to you

As the crowds pour out on a cold cold night

There’s a place we can go

There’s a place where we both can hide

And we’ll stay quite still

We won’t make a sound

We’ll turn out the lights

We’ll turn out the lights

Then we’ll leave and disappear

Into the night

We’ll turn out the lights

We just want a simple life

We’ll turn out the lights

Please turn out the lights

On down the road we walk along

Can you see me

I’m scared that I’m losing you

As the crowds press on through the cold cold night

There’s a place we can go

There’s a place where we both can hide

And we’ll stay quite still

We won’t make a sound

We’ll turn out the lights

We’ll turn out the lights

Then we’ll leave and disappear

Into the night

We’ll turn out the lights

We just want a simple life

We’ll turn out the lights

Please turn out the lights

And all the vows we made

I’d make them all again

I gave my promise and the life we have is sacred

I wouldn’t lie to you

I could not lie to you

Tonight we’ll leave the noise behind

So turn out the lights

Please turn out the lights
