Against the grain
by Newton Faulkner

I have tried but it´s hard to fight it
I can´t 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 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 difference
But I know that I´ll try again
Although it´s so hard
Hard
Hard
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 difference
But I know that I´ll try again
Although it´s so hard
Hard
Hard
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 difference
But I know that I´ll try again
Although it´s so hard
Hard
Hard
I know the sun will keep on shining down
As long as you´re around
I can´t 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 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 difference
But I know that I´ll try again
Although it´s so hard
Hard
Hard
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 difference
But I know that I´ll try again
Although it´s so hard
Hard
Hard
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 difference
But I know that I´ll try again
Although it´s so hard
Hard
Hard
I know the sun will keep on shining down
As long as you´re around
