A Simple Life

The perfume I used today smells like last winter
It caught me off guard, sudden, blunt, a splinter
I've lived a lifetime of moments that I can't recall
A babe, turned a child, turns 18, soon to be 70
Designed for another life, Chris McCandless inspires me
I'd live, I'd live

It doesn't make any sense to me
How it's harder to breathe when you're climbing the tree
I want a heart with a gate and a key
I need to, not want to, I need to be free
Between land and sea
I climb the tree
They're watching me
Between land and sea
As I climb the tree

Let's run away and land in my yard
From when I was a kid, and nothing seemed quite so hard
I'd run towards the back porch as the world fell behind me
Pretend I never aged past ten, I'd hide so you can't find me
Designed for another life, Chris McCandless inspires me
I'd live, I'd live

It doesn't make any sense to me
How it's harder to breathe when you're climbing the tree
I want a heart with a gate and a key
I need to, not want to, I need to be free
Between land and sea
I climb the tree
They're watching me
Between land and sea
As I climb the tree

I've lived a lifetime of moments that I can't recall
A babe, turned a child, turns 18, soon to be 70
Designed for another life, Chris McCandless inspires me
I'd live

It doesn't make any sense to me
How it's harder to breathe when you're climbing the tree
I want a heart with a gate and a key
I need to, not want to, I need to be free
Between land and sea
I climb the tree
They're watching me
Between land and sea
As I climb the tree
