Simple Things
As an old man Im a young man
Cause Ive not been old for long
And before these trembling waters settle
Ill have flown the pond
So I dont mean to be morbid
Or a bit too on the nose
But Id like to share a few things
That Ive learned along the road
What youll find chasing dreams
Is the finish line recedes
And the riddle stays a riddle
Oh the humors bittersweet
All nature does is dance
So when you dance youre in accord
Look no further than the feeling
That it gives you for reward
Reward
Reward
Reward
Simple things
Hard to learn
Fire is hot
Burn, burn, burn
Simple truth
Hard to see
Not what you want
But what you need
Mm hmm
Ive been a sleepwalker, a cheap talker
A sly grin, a discreet offer
Ive held steady for a gaze
Ive led a lover through a maze
Thrown bottles at the wall
When someone forgot to call
Ive done all the things a wild heart will do
I will do
What youll find chasing dreams
Is the finish line recedes
And the riddle stays a riddle
Oh the humors bittersweet
All nature does is dance
So when you dance youre in accord
Look no further than the feeling
That it gives you for reward
Reward
Reward
Reward
Simple things
Hard to learn
Fire is hot
Burn, burn, burn
Simple truth
Hard to see
Not what you want
But what you need
Simple things
Hard to learn
Fire is hot
Burn, burn, burn
Simple truth
Hard to see
Not what you want
But what you need
Mm hmm
