Harder Than It Seems Lyrics
Music by jamie rowe words by jamie rowe and steve taylor
Mystery girl runs away To a harlot city's hard embrace Seeking what's been advertised All the life that's been denied A fever burns in every joint A plea in every needlepoint Communion
Can you have a perfect lover without understanding love? Can you see a brighter future without seeking what you hide? And I understand that simple truth is deeper than is wide Still I know...
Sometimes its harder than it seems Sometimes its harder than it seems
Mystery girl walks alone Through the doors a hundred offerings made Hear the echo, touch the wood As a deeper longing longs for good - And as the candle leaves your hand Feel the warmth and understand Communion
Can you have a perfect lover without understanding love? Can you see a brighter future without seeking what you hide? And I understand that simple truth is deeper than is wide Still I know...
Sometimes it harder than it seems Sometimes it's harder than it seems And you're wanting to believe Sometimes it's harder than it seems
Shame is like a blister every step will make it worse And the vessels of your great escape have all but disappeared And you hear the Savior call you to a life beyond your means And I know even a simple faith is harder than it seemsit seems
Can you have a perfect lover without understanding love? Can you see a brighter future without seeking what you hide? And I understand that simple truth is deeper than is wide Still I know
Sometimes it's harder than it seems Sometimes it's harder than it seems And you're wanting to believe Sometimes it's harder than it seems
