The chorus emphasizes that the narrator just wants his partner, signifying how love and a connection with someone real and simple is all he needs to be happy. Both of them prioritize each other's company and companionship over materialistic aspects of life or a perfect relationship. The narrator and his partner both want the simple things in life - to smoke, laugh, and lay together.
The lyrics express the desire for a partner who is real, true, and genuine, rather than someone who is just a model or a movie star. The song 'Simplethings' by Miguel talks about the importance of simplicity in life and relationships.
