As Simple Love Song (feat. Ryan Straw & the LA HUSTLE)

So I met this girl the other night
Digitally like people do these days
Sparked solely from the right keystrokes
The conversation branched in brilliant ways
But at the casual mention of past regrets
Well I feared I'd crossed some social line
So I offered a few of my own war stories
Battlefield tales of my bitter times

No I don't regret the breakups
Because even the bad ones turned out good
Even the worst things that I've been through
Even the times that broke me most
But I'll tell you something I should probably keep to myself
You remind me of the last girl and yeah, that didn't end too well

And if we focus on the small steps we should be good to go
Like being present and being fair and being clear and just being here
And though surely it will be tempting for us to self-sabotage
Let's just steer clear
And decide from the start
That maybe this time we found the same face with a different heart

I got myself a new point of view
I found vision in the verse
I stopped looking for unwritten signs
HIS will is in HIS words
And at the risk of being that guy
I offer us this prayer
That long-gone is our need to détruire
Let faith be our protector on this journey we're about to undertake

And if we focus on the small steps we should be good to go
Like being present and being fair and being clear and just being here
And though surely it will be tempting for us to self-sabotage
Let's just steer clear
And decide from the start
That maybe this time we found the same face with a different heart
