Simple Things Ft Brandi Carlile Letras

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
