Harder Than It Seems lyrics

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 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
