Against the Grain

I have tried but its hard to fight it
I cant just watch as it falls apart
If we could break the mold
Make it in from the cold
Lose your mind, never lose your heart
And I dont mind working hard for it
Ill bend the hands til the space appears
Ill move the pieces until we all fit
From near to far and from far to near
And I know
That Im going against the grain
And I know this makes no sense
The changes Ive tried to make
They make no difference
But I know that Ill try again
Although its so hard
Hard
Hard
Given time itll finally focus
And in a moment thats been and gone
And in the afterglow
From my head to my soul
I can see all I have ignored
And I dont mind working hard for it
Ill bend the hands til the space appears
Ill move the pieces until we all fit
From near to far and from far to near
And I know
That Im going against the grain
And I know this makes no sense
The changes Ive tried to make
They make no difference
But I know that Ill try again
Although its so hard
Hard
Hard
If lifes so short then were wasting time
Love is the last thing on our minds
Its 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 Im going against the grain
And I know this makes no sense
The changes Ive tried to make
They makeno difference
But I know that Ill try again
Although its so hard
Hard
Hard
I know the sun will keep on shining down
As long as youre around
