Before We Disappear

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 the quiet earth
If there’s a door to every cell
A pearl inside of every shell, then
How hard can it be
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning
I know that it feels like
We will live forever, but 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 life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning
I know that it feels like
We will live for ever, but I fear
That time can 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 past the storm
Lies the shelter
Of your heart
So how hard can it be (how hard)
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning
I know that it feels like
We will 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
