Lyrics:
Well this is just a simple song
To say what you done
I told you about all those fears
And away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
Being warmed by the sun

This is the song that plays in my head when the clouds float away and I can feel the sunshine. Thanks to the shins and himym for pulling my out of depression

[@sarthakjoshi3797]

Clouds are also beautiful ... Why do people mostly view sunshine as something positive? Isn't darkness the more astounding underlying reality of sunshine ? Isn't most of the universe dark and empty ? Sunshine is there because there's sun. Sun will die, as will all other stars, and us too. Darkness and emptiness is the only thing(if I can call it that) which will always remain.

I can't even begin to describe how this song makes me feel. It's such a glorious and hopeful ode to how the people we love get us through hard times, and how strong the ties are between people who stick it out together, and how any place can feel like home when the people you love are there. It's a beautiful love song, to a lover or a friend or anybody or everybody, and it seems like it cherishes the past, present, and the future equally. It makes me so happy.

Well this is just a simple song To say what you done I told you about all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean Being warmed by the sun When I was just nine years old I swear that I dreamt Your face on a football field And a kiss that I kept Under my vest Apart from everything, but the heart in my chest I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don’t go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone Could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical As this little home! My life in an upturned boat, marooned on a cliff You brought me a great big flood And you gave me a lift To care, what a gift You tell me with your tongue And your breath was in my lungs And you float over the rift I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don’t go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone Could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical As this little home! Well this will be a simple song to say what you’ve done I told you about all those fears and away they did run You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean Being warmed by the sun Remember walking a mile to your house, a glow in the dark I made a fumblin’ play for your heart and the act struck a spark You wore a charm in a chain that I stole especially for you Love’s such a delicate thing that we do, with nothing to prove Which I never knew
