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.
We can fall down
We can go round
And wind up in the middle
Open up a little
It should not be this hard
We can check out
We can leave town
And wind up in the middle
Open up a little
It should not be this hard
I can’t stop this ride we’re on
The days keep grinding on and on
Time will make us right as rain
At least that’s what I hear you say again and again
We can check out
We can leave town
Wind up in the middle
Open up a little
It should not be this hard
Forgive me darling if I fail
Win or lose to no avail (I know you know)
That love is stronger than us two
I believe we’ll make it through (I know we will)
We can fall down
We can go round
And wind up in the middle
Open up a little
It should not be this hard
No it should not be this hard
Rest your head
In my hands
All is well
We can fall down
We can go round
And wind up in the middle
Open up a little
It should not be this hard
No it should not be this hard
It should not be this hard
No it should not be this hard
