Simple and Clean
Written by: Utada Hikaru

You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said

Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,

Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Ragardless of warning that future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

I got curious as to how this song sounded, so I spent a good part of my time on KaZaA looking for this MP3. I found both versions. The remix sounds really aggressive in contrast to the lyrics, if you ask me.

The original version that plays during the ending credits of Kingdom Hearts (I'm asuming) was what made me cry the more I listen. It's as if I found that once song in my life that's not really my theme, but the song from my heart. It's hard to explain. It's like this song was written from within from all my pain and loneliness. At one point, I pictured me singing this hugging Dan and James. It still brings to tears to my eyes as I'm typing this. No matter how hard I try to fight it, it's as if the song is saying for me to let it go. Quit trying to be on the defensive. Stop trying to be right even if you aren't. It's not like it was. It never will be. Ever. Every action you do, everything you say does something to change everything around you. The only thing that will ever remain the same is how you feel deep down inside about the people you know. The only thing that matters are the people you love. Those that walk away walk away by their free will. Don't lose the ones that love you. Don't lose the ones that you love. Show them you love them. You don't have to do much of anything or try as hard as you may think. Just show them.

Now if only I can show them. It sounds so simple. There is just one problem. I'm not there.
