In a different time

The different things that people tell you to try
The different things that keep you from living your life
Sunsets and breezes that used to tickle your eyes
They don't warm you now
Not even in July

If I could see you now
I wouldn't tell you to try
I wouldn't ask how you feel
'Cause
I wouldn't want you to lie
For some reason that
I don't even know why
I feel the need to tell you that I think
That you're gonna be fine
If I was older now I could give you advice
If I was younger now
I'd still know how to smile

Beneath my surface where
There once burned a fire
There's just a pile of ashes now
And old telephone wire
See it ain't just you that can't find desire
It ain't just you that stands with one foot in the fire
But if you'd hold my hand and we'd look to the sky
I think that there's a chance that
We could once again feel alive

But if the sun comes up inside your mind
Then we could make it home just in time
To see a moonlit life taking flight
And into the life we once knew we'll collide
But I know that it ain't easy to try
Yeah I know that it ain't easy to try
