Lyrics
Before We Disappear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time ain’t nothing if it ain’t fast
Taking everything that you ever had
And giving nothing in return
But a cold bed in a quiet earth
But there's a door in every cell
A pearl inside of every shell
How hard can it be
To share your love with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we'll live forever
I fear that time will hide the years
Life ain’t nothing if it ain’t hard
It’ll show you who you truly are
Knock you down when you get too tall
Till you spun around in a free fall
But somewhere out there past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart
So how hard can it be
To share your love with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we’ll live forever
But I fear that time will hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly my dear
I'm not one to waste my time
Searching for some silver lining
Somewhere out there lies the stone
Lies the shelter
Of your heart
So how hard can it be (how hard)
To share your love with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we’ll live forever
But I fear that time can hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly my dear
Before we disappear
Before we disappear
