Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time ain't nothing if it ain't fast
Takin' everything that you ever had
And giving nothing in return
But a cold bed in the quiet earth
[Verse 2]
If there's a door to every cell
A pearl inside of every shell, then
[Verse 3]
How hard can it be
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know it feels like
We will live forever
But I fear
That time will hide the years
[Verse 4]
Life ain't nothing if it ain't hard
It'll show you who you truly are
Knock you down when you get too tall
Till you spun around in a free fall
[Verse 5]
But somewhere out there, past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart
[Verse 6]
So how hard can it be
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know it feels like
We will live forever
But I fear
That time will hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly, my dear
[Verse 7]
Well, I'm not one to waste my time
Searchin' for some silver lining
But somewhere out there, past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart
[Verse 8]
So how hard can it be
To share your life with me? (How hard?)
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know it feels like
We will live forever
But I fear
That time could hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly, my dear
[Verse 9]
Before we disappear
Before we disappear
