[Verse 1]
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

[Refrain]
Oh, simple thing (simple thing), where have you gone? (where have you gone?)
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when (so tell me when) you're gonna let me in (you're gonna let me in)
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

[Verse 2]
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, simple thing (simple thing), where have you gone? (where have you gone?)
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when (so tell me when) you're gonna let me in (you're gonna let me in)
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

[Chorus]
So if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, simple thing (simple thing), where have you gone? (where have you gone?)
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when (so tell me when) you're gonna let me in (you're gonna let me in)
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

[Chorus]
So if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?

[Outro]
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
