Against The Grain [acoustic Version] Lyrics - Write It On Your Skin - Newton Faulkner

I have tried but it's hard to fight it 

I can't just watch as it falls apart 

If we could break the mold 

Make it in from the cold 

Lose your mind, never lose your heart 

And I don't mind working hard for it 

I'll bend the hands 'til the space appears 

I'll move the pieces until we all fit 

From near to far and from far to near 

And I know 

That I'm going against the grain 

And I know this makes no sense 

The changes I've tried to make 

They make no difference

But I know that I'll try again 

Although it's so hard 

Hard 

Hard 

Given time it'll finally focus 

And in a moment that's been and gone 

And in the afterglow 

From my head to my soul 

I can see all I have ignored 

And I don't mind working hard for it 

I'll bend the hands 'til the space appears 

I'll move the pieces until we all fit 

From near to far and from far to near 

And I know 

That I'm going against the grain 

And I know this makes no sense 

The changes I've tried to make 

They make no difference 

Photos 

But I know that I'll try again 

Although it's so hard 

Hard 

Hard 

If life's so short then we're wasting time 

Love is the last thing on our minds 

It's so simple but so hard to see 

And you are not alone in this 

Sense of loss and loneliness 

Take your shoes off run towards the sea 

And I know 

That I'm going against the grain 

And I know this makes no sense 

The changes I've tried to make 

They make no difference 

But I know that I'll try again 

Although it's so hard 

Hard 

Hard 

I know the sun will keep on shining down 

As long as you're around
