I have tried but it's hard to fight it
I can't just watch as it falls apart
If we could break the mould, make it in from the cold
Lose your mind, never lose your heart
I don't mind working hard for it
I'll bend the hands 'til the space appears
I'll move the pieces until we all fit
From near to far and from far to near
And I know that I'm going against the grain
And I know this makes no sense
The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ - ence
But I know that I'll try again, although it's so hard
Hard, hard
TRANSITION:
Given time it'll finally focus
And in a moment that's been and gone
And in the afterglow, from my head to my soul
I can see all I have ignored
And I don't mind working hard for it
I'll bend the hands 'til the space appears
I'll move the pieces until we all fit
From near to far and from far to near
And I know that I'm going against the grain
And I know this makes no sense
The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ - ence
But I know that I'll try again, although it's so hard
Hard, hard
TRANSITION:
If life's so short then we're wasting time
Love is the last thing on our minds
It's so simple but so hard to see
And you are not alone in this
Sense of loss and loneliness
Take your shoes off, run towards the sea
And I know that I'm going against the grain
And I know this makes no sense
The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ - ence
But I know that I'll try again, although it's so hard
Hard, hard
TRANSITION:
I know the sun will keep on shining down
As long as you're around
