Simple Things

歌詞

As an old man I'm a young man 'Cause I've not been old for long And before these trembling waters settle I'll have flown the pond So I don't mean to be morbid Or a bit too on the nose But I'd like to share a few things That I've learned along the road What you'll find chasing dreams Is the finish line recedes And the riddle stays a riddle Oh the humor's bittersweet All nature does is dance So when you dance you're 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 I've been a sleepwalker, a cheap talker A sly grin, a discreet offer I've held steady for a gaze I've led a lover through a maze Thrown bottles at the wall When someone forgot to call I've done all the things a wild heart will do I will do What you'll find chasing dreams Is the finish line recedes And the riddle stays a riddle Oh the humor's bittersweet All nature does is dance So when you dance you're 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
