Bottle Rocket cover
13. Harder than it Seems
Album: Bottle Rocket
Artist: Guardian
         
 

Mystery girl run 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 it's harder than it seems
Sometimes it's harder than it seems

Mystery girl walks alone
Through the doorks 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'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

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 seems - it 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



Behind the Song:
PROVERBS 3:5-7 - MARK 12:30 - PSALMS 139:7-18
