This is where the story begins
Living in our summer skin, oh yeah,
It felt so right
There was not a care in sight
I loved you then, I loved you right, oh yeah,
We’re feelin’ fine, oh no
Pre:
Oh and don’t bring me down
While I am trying to live through these simple sounds
Chorus:
Welcome to the simple life
Let’s live it now let’s live it right
Oh yeah, let’s live tonight
Welcome to the simple life
We’re living it now we’re living it right
Oh yeah, let’s feel tonight
Oh no, and this is how it goes
Verse 2:
Punch the card from 9 to 5
Clocking out and then we vibe
Oh yeah, day to night
Still drive the car from ‘95
That’s A to B so I get by
Oh yeah, well that’s just life, oh no
Pre:
Oh and don’t bring me down
While I am trying to live through these simple sounds
Chorus:
Welcome to the simple life
Let’s live it now let’s live it right
Oh yeah, let’s live tonight
Welcome to the simple life
We’re living it now we’re living it right
Oh yeah, let’s feel tonight
Oh no, and this is how it goes
Bridge:
Don’t tell me how to live my life
Do what I like I’ll do it right
Oh yeah, I feel it’s time
You won’t tell me how to live my life
Sunshine we’re feelin’ fine
Oh yeah, it feel so nice
Oh no
And this is how it goes
Oh no
And this is how it goes
Chorus:
Welcome to the simple life
Let’s live it now let’s live it right
Oh yeah, let’s live tonight
Welcome to the simple life
We’re living it now we’re living it right
Oh yeah, let’s feel tonight
Oh no, and this is how it goes
Welcome to the simple life
(Oh and don’t bring me down)
Let’s live it now let’s live it right
Oh yeah, let’s live tonight
Welcome to the simple life
(While I am trying to live through these simple sounds)
We’re living it now we’re living it right
Oh yeah, let’s feel tonight
Oh no, and this is how it goes
