We keep our love in a plain brown box

We keep it tied with a simple lock

We hold it close 'cause it's all we got

We think it's ordinary but it's not



In a world that's starting to fade

A little love could pave the way

Don't keep it tied with the simple lock

You think it's ordinary but it's not



Chorus:

Maybe this life is just about love and tenderness

If all we are, are shooting stars

Maybe we, we can fight

All of this pain and lonliness if

All we are, are shooting stars



Tired of hearing 'bout the bling-bling

We're so concered with material things

It's all cars and diamond rings

And do you think it's going to ease your sting



Cause that's a hole that you can't fill

Velvet rope overkill

Free your mind let your heart sing

And just remember that they're only things



(Chorus)



I used to live by the minute

I was too blind to see

Now I've found the strength to admit it

Now it's all I believe

Please oh please

 

(Chorus)
