The different things that people tell you to try The different things that keep you from living your life Sunsets and breezes that used to tickle your eyes They don't warm you now Not even in July If I could see you now I wouldn't tell you to try I wouldn't ask how you feel 'Cause I wouldn't want you to lie For some reason that I don't even know why I feel the need to tell you that I think That you're gonna be fine If I was older now I could give you advice If I was younger now I'd still know how to smile Beneath my surface where There once burned a fire There's just a pile of ashes now And old telephone wire See it ain't just you that can't find desire It ain't just you that stands with one foot in the fire But if you'd hold my hand and we'd look to the sky I think that there's a chance that We could once again feel alive But if the sun comes up inside your mind Then we could make it home just in time To see a moonlit life taking flight And into the life we once knew we'll collide But I know that it ain't easy to try Yeah I know that it ain't easy to try
