Against The Grain

INTRO: VERSE 1: 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 PRE-CHORUS 1: 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: VERSE 2: 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 PRE-CHORUS 2: 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: (2x) BRIDGE: 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: (2x) OUTRO: I know the sun will keep on shining down As long as you're around
