🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
  • I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
  • So, tell me when you're gonna let me in
  • I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin

Echo the hook

  • This could be the end of everything
  • So, why don't we go somewhere only we know?
  • Somewhere only we know
  • Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
