Simple Lyrics by Coby James

Mixtape: Side A - EP

2021

[Verse 1]
Momma says she don't want me to go (Ooh)
Daddy said don't sell your soul (Ooh)
Money called, there's a party tonight
Said it won't last long, have the time of your life
And the devil's got a house in the hils
Haunted house full of thrills

[Pre-Chorus]
Long way from the east coast, my home
How'd I get so numb, so cold
Living with the life that I chose

[Chorus]
I took an elevator to the top
Didn't tell me that my heart would break
Took you further than you ever thought
Keep you longer than you wanna stay
The plane won't stop cause it's a fast ride
First class seats in the high life

[Post-Chorus]
Hard life, Mom's right
It was simple
Wanna go back when life
Was simple

[Verse 2]
Had to ghost my best friend the other day
Couldn't hang out cause I was out to lunch with fame
Another day in the land of the free and the home of the fake
Now I got a key to the devil's haunted house in the hills
I don't wanna go in

[Pre-Chorus]
Long way from the east coast, my home
How'd I get so numb, so cold
Living with the life that I chose

[Chorus]
I took an elevator to the top
Didn't tell me that my heart would break
Took you further than you ever thought
Keep you longer than you wanna stay
The plane won't stop cause it's a fast ride
First class seats in the high life

[Post-Chorus]
Hard life, Mom's right
It was simple
Wanna go back when life
Was simple

[Bridge]
Oh
When did I lose myself
I lost myself
Oh
It's my fault, no one else
Did this myself (Myself)
Just wanted to feel something real

[Pre-Chorus]
Took an elevator to the top
Took me further than I ever thought

[Chorus]
The plane won't stop cause it's a fast ride
First class seats in the high life
Time is something that you can't buy
And I've been wasting mine

[Post-Chorus]
Hard life, Mom's right
It was simple
Wanna go back when life
Was simple
