    A classic-sounding pop song with the classic boy-girl scenario. Plus, it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.

    Story Behind the Song
    Yeah, this is a out-and-out pop song, but I'd still like to think the lyrics are getting deeper than your typical three-minute ditty. I will confess that the music and melody came near instantly from heaven above, so maybe God wants more catchy pop songs in the world? And Craig swears I wrote most of these lines about him directly, but the sad truth is most guys--and girls--spend more time than we should obsessing over those select individuals who never seem to care quite as much as we want them to...

    Lyrics
    The Simplest Things

    when the fighting is done and the battle's been won
    do you wait for the next war to start
    can you love what you have like you love what you want
    or would you rather just rip it apart
    build your walls build your walls build your walls build your walls
    I've got a fortress of my own
    call the infantry back there's no need for attack
    I'm approaching unarmed and alone

    I have empires in my grasp
    I have empires in my grasp
    and here I sit still
    waiting on a call from you
    waiting on a sign that I got through I'm
    waiting on a call from you
    the simplest things
    can bring down kings

    all the armies you keep in your bed as you sleep
    they won't save you from being let down
    are you waiting up there just to let down your hair
    for the first prince who offers his crown
    turn your head turn your head turn your head turn your head
    there's a ransom inside if you'd open your eyes
    I'll surrender myself with the white flag upheld
    but I can't wait in line while you make up your mind

    what good is power
    if I still get weak when you start to speak
    what good is wisdom
    if I never know why you let me go

    I have empires in my grasp
    I have empires in my grasp
    but I'm still sitting here
    waiting on a call from you
    waiting on a single word or two I'm
    waiting on a call from you
    the simplest things can bring down kings
    the simplest things can bring down kings
    the simplest things
    can bring down kings
