A Digby Summer

I can't believe how relatable Marie Digby's Breathing Underwater series is. Some things "shoulda been simple," but just aren't.

I am in love with all of her songs, especially Shoulda Been Simple and Daybreak

Shoulda Been Simple

Had every word prepared
Wasn't even scared
Rehearsed the scene a million times and still felt no where
You were just down the hall
Not knowing at all
What was about to happen when I laid it on the line

'Cause it's written on my face
Though you see it in my eyes
How do you tell someone you love
What's gonna hurt
Don't wanna hurt

So when I'm too long
And telling you what's wrong
I tried and couldn't bring myself
(It shoulda been simple)
So many times I've tried
The time was never right
It was so complicated
(It shoulda been simple)

Oh-oh oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)

There's no time for fear
visions kinda happen
No matter how this ends today, I wanna leave here as friends
It's not that I don't love you (Don't love you)
Don't think that I don't care (Don't care)
We were trying to fly a plane, the wings were just not there

And it's written on my face
Though you see it in my eyes
How do you tell someone you love
What's gonna hurt
What's gonna hurt

So when I'm too long
And telling you, "Be strong."
I tryed and couldn't bring myself
(It shoulda been simple)
So many times I've tried
The time was never right
It was so complicated
(It shoulda been simple)

Oh-oh oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)

Remember the day that we said that we wouldn't change
We changed
'Cause nothing's the same anymore since that day
That day


Daybreak

If these walls could talk
They'd whisper, Just hold on
Dont this sunshine in this place
If we lose the night, it might not same
Not the same, oh

You look in my eyes and tell me things wont change
Then I feel safe letting you go

I don't wanna move
Don't let go of this moment
I don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna know if this is tonight
Only stop time, stop daylight
Cause when day breaks
it might all be over

When day, when day, when day breaks
It might all be over
When day, when day, when day breaks

Trace my skin
Hold out your hands
And let me in
The truth is coming through this blinds
I'm afraid the truth might be unkind
So unkind, oh
