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
