David Gray - Harder Lyrics

Can't recall the moment when the doubt
Ripped your face
Or put my finger on quite when the fog
Took your place
Now we've been beating on it
'Till we're black and blue
Just what good exactly is it gonna do
Always so much harder
So much harder when you have to try
Could we at least agree upon the size
And the shape
The relative dimensions that the lie
Ought to take
For your delectation a scenario
Taken so much further than it needs to go
Always so much harder
Always so much
If we could get away just for a week or two
Baby let it burn the way it used to do
Always so much harder
So much harder when you have to try
Have to try
And if the ground should open up
And swallow me
It would not stop
That minute hand from ticking off
The minutes 'till the penny drop
Not a breath of wind
And not a cloud in the sky
All the better then to watch the world passing by
Passing by
Passing by
Passing by

Can't recall the moment when the doubt
Ripped your face
Or put my finger on quite when the fog
Took your place
Now we've been beating on it
'Till we're black and blue
Just what good exactly is it gonna do
Always so much harder
So much harder when you have to try
Could we at least agree upon the size
And the shape
The relative dimensions that the lie
Ought to take
For your delectation a scenario
Taken so much further than it needs to go
Always so much harder
Always so much
If we could get away just for a week or two
Baby let it burn the way it used to do
Always so much harder
So much harder when you have to try
Have to try
And if the ground should open up
And swallow me
It would not stop
That minute hand from ticking off
The minutes 'till the penny drop
Not a breath of wind
And not a cloud in the sky
All the better then to watch the world passing by
Passing by
Passing by
Passing by
