Simple as can be
I got your hands in mine
And you don't have to listen carefully
I'll tell you a thousand times
When someone tells you that things are simple and easy, you tend to be sceptical of their assumption and doubt creeps in. You may choose to believe their self-assurance. But you might be lacking the confidence (or the faith) to believe in things as quickly as they do. Not being able to believe compliments or praise that comes your way has always been especially difficult. You've been taught to be suspicious of people who come bounding in your life with energy and light because you have had to cultivate that within yourself, far from judgemental eyes and disapproving stares. When was the last time that someone held your hands in theirs? Are there many people that you trust to hold your hands so that they know how they fit within theirs? When someone is happy to tell you a thousand times about the things they believe in you, what patience must they have? What must they see in you that you are unwilling to share with the world?
Anything you feel, put it all on me
All of your thoughts, I want everything
And when you get sad, like you do sometimes
Put it all on me
Put it all on me
People may offer their time to listen to all that you feel, to listen to all of your thoughts. When have you met someone who wants to know everything that you think? Everything that you feel? Do people always want to know what you laugh about? Most of the time they want to know in case you are laughing at them. Most of the time I laugh in those moments because I am just happy and full of joy at that moment. I might also be laughing because of something I've recalled that connected with something that was just uttered. I don't know about you, I could spend all day making connections with words, ideas and phrases that I have heard from earlier in the day. But when someone offers to take all of your sadness and to put it on them - do you take up that offer? I don't think people should be making light of such offers. They might not know how much sadness is really all wrapped up in there.
I'll lift you when you're feeling low
I'll hold you when the night gets cold
You'll never have to be alone
And that's all you need to know
People that know you well, and know the confines of your connection, will know exactly how to lift you when you are feeling low. I marvel sometimes at the sheer random moments when someone unexpectedly lifts me - and the funny thing is, I didn't even know I was feeling low in any given moment until I felt my feet lift off the ground. Sometimes we do just need to be held. But we can't just be held by anyone. We have to be sure that whoever offers to hold us during those cold nights is someone that we choose to be vulnerable with. How else would they be able to provide warmth during those cold nights if we didn't trust them? Sometimes only knowing what we need to know is sufficient.
No love lost, we've got you and I
No clouds, we shoot 'em off the sky
You'll never have to be alone
And that's all you need to know
There will come a time in your life where clarity and transparency are vital parts of any connection, and never become more so when you are in a relationship. Who have you got? Are you able to obliterate any other obstacles that form in front of you? Are you able to account for unexpected barriers that pop up without warning? Maybe you're in a relationship and you don't even know it? When someone promises to be there for you always, you do what every human does - you have to test whether it's true. Pretty soon you're devising ridiculous and outlandish tests to match the zeal of some crazed Gladiators or UFC fan who bays for blood.
Simple as can be
I'm gonna be around
And you know we got everything we need
Look at this thing we found
Sometimes people won't be around the way that you want them but rest assured that they will be there when you need them the most, at the most absolute crucial moment where you thought nobody will be around. If we are our real selves, we will attract people who are drawn to the inner truth that they aspire to glen from themselves. Are you surrounding yourself with the right people who are conducive to aligning with your life mission? If you unwittingly creating complications in your relatively simple life, it's time to start letting go of what doesn't serve you or see you. If you start to question the thing that you've found, does it mean that it wasn't really worth finding in the first place? I guess I can only go on what is said and what is shown. Even then, nothing is ever certain. Would you be satisfied with all you need to know. . .
