Simpleton In My Heart

You showed up late

Shoes untied

Coffee on your sleeve

Talking too loud

About some movie I’ve never seen

Your keys on the table

Your thoughts on the floor

You laugh at yourself

I just love you more

I love you

Simpleton

Crooked grin

Bad decisions

Every wrong turn that you take

Feels like home to me

I love you

Simpleton

You don’t get half of what I’m saying

But you get me

You get me

That’s enough

That’s everything

You burn the toast

Say it’s “extra flavor” for the day

You miss the point

But somehow still you make it okay

You mix up the lyrics

Still sing them too loud

You trip on the sidewalk

Then bow like you meant it to a crowd

You don’t read minds

You just hold my hand

You don’t fix storms

You just understand

All my sharp edges

So sure they’d cut you

You lean in closer

Say

“guess I trust you”
