And if it seems like an accident, a collage of senselessness; you weren't looking hard enough. I wasn't looking hard enough.

gotta work hard, play hard, cry hard, laugh hard, pray hard, thank hard, love hard, live hard. life is hard. life is short. don't hold back.

So that's how I learned the lesson that everyone's aloneAnd your eyes must do some raining if you're ever gonna growBut when crying don't help, you can't compose yourselfIt's best to compose a poemAn honest verse of longing or a simple song of hopeThat's why I'm singing baby don't worry, cause now I got you backAnd every time you feel like crying you know I'll try and make you laughBut if I can't, if it just hurts too bad, then we'll wait for it to passAnd I will keep you company through those days so long and blackAnd we'll keep working on the problem we know we'll never solveOf love's uneven remainders, our lives are fractions of a wholeBut if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wallThen I think we'd see the beauty there and stand staring in aweAt our still lives posedLike a bowl of orangesLike a story told by the fault lines and the soil
