Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You put on that makeup, spend an hour on your hair
High heels and that red dress with a slit right up to there and I don't mind
But sweats, a ponytail, and smile suit me just fine
You'll get in the kitchen, make a meal fit for a king
Burn your hands and cut your fingers just to feed me, girl, and I appreciate
But I'd equally praise a sandwich that you made
[PreChorus]
You can search your whole life never to find
What's standing right in front of you
[Chorus]
It's always the simple things, the way you laugh
It's the way you cry to your favorite song
Life is all the in betweens
The flowers you find on the uphill climb that keep ya movin' on
And after you stop chasin'
Is when you find out all that really made sense
Is the simple things
It's always the simple things
[Verse 2]
Head up in the clouds, so many nights out on the road
To come to the conclusion that there ain't no place like home
I took some pretty pictures, and I made some memories
But there's one truth that still amazes me
[Chorus]
It's always the simple things, the way you laugh
It's the way you cry to your favorite song
Life is all the in betweens
The flowers you find on the uphill climb that keep ya movin' on
And after you stop chasing
Is when you find out all that really made sense
[Bridge]
It's the little things, and the big dreams
All the unseens looking back at me
It's the long talks, and the quiet drives
And the slow walks, that's when you realize
It's always the simple things
Always the simple things
[Chorus]
It's always the simple things, the way you laugh
It's the way you cry to your favorite song
Life is all the in betweens
The flowers you find on the uphill climb that keep ya movin' on
And after you stop chasing
Is when you find out all that really made sense
Is the simple things
It's always the simple things
[Outro]
It's always the simple things, yeah
