Kina Grannis writes about the fallout of a bad day in “It’s Hard To Be Human.” As the title track of the album, the song encompasses much of the album’s overall tone.
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Can you pull the car over, I need to slow down
Gets some words lined up and see how they sound
We just keep spinning, everyone's hurt
Both of us talking but no-one feels heard
I know you never wanna get me down
But it's a steep road I'm walking on
You know I never wanna get you down
But it's a bit late now
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
It's hard to be human and hard to grow up
I just keep trying to keep my sail up
Maybe I'm learning, finding my way
But how could I feel this and still be okay?
I'm sitting here staring at the gutter
Wondering why I feel sorry for myself
If we keep hurting one another starts to color
How we're doing it to ourselves
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
Ooooh, ooooh-oooooh
I know you never wanna get me down
But it's a steep road I'm walking on
You know I never wanna get you down
But it's a bit late now
